Deescalation training.
Nonviolence is one of the core principles of XR and being able to deescalate situations and maintain nonviolent protests is essential. Check out the Embedding Nonviolence Facebook page for upcoming workshops.

Oppression, Movement Building and Our Relationship as Activists.
OMBRA is an online, interactive workshop exploring how movements can be divided when oppression is not addressed. It offers practical tools to heal these divisions when they affect our relationships as activists.
