Please share far and wide: *** SAVE THE DATES *** INVITE YOUR FRIENDS *** Rising Tide is organizing a convergence weekend on April 4, 5 and 6th called: No Pipelines!: Action Training for Climate Justice in Vancouver BC, on unceded coast Salish Territories. This weekend will be for mass movement trainings focused on building resistance across our different organizing spaces to fight extreme energy expansion and its numerous resulting oppressions across Turtle Island. We would like to invite you/your collective/group/organization to this event so we can learn from one another and strengthen our resolve to stop the expansion of extreme energy, end the exploitation of human and natural resources and offer our support to communities on the front lines of the ecological crises. This weekend is designed to share popular education on mass movement building and citizen action - to prepare hundreds of folks for civil disobedience and community organizing through skill shares and relationship building. We are looking to use these skills and new connections to plan public protests throughout 2014 against numerous mega projects proliferating the landscape – from oil and gas pipelines, to coal export terminals, from fracking and mining projects to incinerators. For the future of all our communities and children - we need to act now. Dates for No Pipelines! Action Training for Climate Justice are April 4, 5 and 6th and these trainings will be held at various locations in Vancouver (including Russian Hall and The Dogwood Centre) Highlights for the Weekend Training, include: · Workshops on anti-oppression -Direct Action - Warrior Societies - Shaping conditions for grassroots revolt - Planning and preparation for action - Security culture & counter-surveillance - Legal rights - Indigenous solidarity- affinity group organizing – land defense (we are open to suggestions for other workshops) · Presentations by key grassroots community leaders · Build a coalition to stop resource extraction · Planning collaborative mass direct actions and protests for 2014 If you or your group/collective has any ideas for workshops, suggestions, locations or other logistical issues to pass along please email: [email protected]
