Prepare for Action
Prepare for Action (PfA) is a 90 minute workshop for new people who have attended the Intro to XR talk and Get Involved session, or for exisiting rebels looking for 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
- Understand the action cycle
- Our relationship with the police
- How to de-escalate difficult situations
- Understand Action Support
- Legal Support and bustcards
- How to make fast group decisions
- And more!
Prepare for Action is an inclusive workshop with space to reflect and ask questions. Some of our workshops will include a briefing about an imminent action.
People who have signed up for the session will 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 regularly refreshed, it provides the perfect opportunity for people wanting to recap their older NVDA training knowledge and refresh their energy before taking action. People who are new to XR will come away with a clear understanding of the whats, whys and hows of taking part in an action.
In-person training may be available locally and there is a short street version for basic skills at an action.
