Prepare for Action
Prepare for Action (PfA)
'Prepare for Action' is a 90 minute workshop for new people who have attended Intro to XR and Get Involved sessions, or for exisiting rebels wanting the latest information about taking part in any kind of XR activity .
We’ll cover:
- what is nonviolence and why is it essential?
- how to keep secure
- understanding the action cycle
- our relationship with the police
- how to de-escalate difficult situations
- understanding Action Support
- Legal Support and bustcards
- making fast group decisions
- and more!
This is an inclusive workshop with space to reflect and ask questions. It covers the most up-to-date information on XR actions.
After the training, you'll receive a follow-up email with useful in-depth information and links to relevant resources.
Who is the training for?
Whether you are relatively new to XR or a seasoned rebel, PfA is for you. Because it is a recently refreshed training, it provides the perfect opportunity for people wanting to recap their older NVDA training knowledge and refresh their energy for taking action.
