Free Training: Nonviolent Action to Stop the War Machine

Want to take bold nonviolent action to stop the war machine? Join Veterans for Peace for a two-hour workshop on organizing creative and dynamic direct actions to meaningfully challenge the war machine and create space for a more just and peaceful future.

This workshop is the first in a series of workshops on creative direct action. During this workshop we’ll cover the fundamentals of direct action including strategic uses of direct action, assessing and preparing for risks, working together as part of an action team, and using actions to amplify our message.

After this initial workshop we’ll be offering a series of shorter sessions where we dive deep into the mechanics of organizing specific tactics like disrupting recruiting events, culture jamming, planning a rally or public demonstration, bird dogging, flash blockades, noise demonstrations, and any number of other tactics that VFP members and allies want to try out to confront the war machine.

This workshop is free and open to VFP members, allies, and anyone interested in taking direct action to stop the war machine.
