Nonviolent Direct Action, Creative Protest- Workshop
February 24, 2018
Climate Change. Pipelines. War. Racism. Trump. Trudeau. How can we take direct action to confront and transform injustices?
What is and how does one organize a sit-in, a blockade? What happens if I get arrested? How can we be effective, accessible, transformative, and creative in our nonviolent direct actions? How do we care for one another in an action/campaign?
This workshop on nonviolent direct action and creative protest will involve discussions on the history and philosophy of nonviolence, practical applications of this theory through civil disobedience/civil resistance, role plays, explorations of tactics to de-escalate crises, the legal ramifications of and winning courtroom strategies for civil disobedience (arrests, courts, detention), the role of affinity groups, self- and community-care as foundational principles for political action, accompaniment and witness as forms of solidarity, and more.
This workshop is organized by Toronto Action for Social Change Homes not Bombs, whose facilitators have conducted hundreds of such workshops throughout Ontario in jails, schools, labour unions, church groups, university campuses, and in preparation for major gatherings such as WTO meetings and G7 summits.
