CANCELLED - Arrestee Support Training & Meet-Up

CANCELLED - To be rescheduled in the future

Extinction Rebellion is a movement that uses non-violent civil disobedience, which means that some rebels may risk arrest in our actions. Our arrestee support team is there to support these rebels before, during, and after arrest. Arrestee support is crucial for making actions successful and cultivating a regenerative approach to civil disobedience.

Come learn how to do arrestee support and meet others who are filling these important roles in our movement! We will provide training in arrestee support and regenerative culture, and look towards organizing a team for future Extinction Rebellion actions.

Time: Wednesday April 1, 7-9:30pm. Subject to change as we confirm the space, so please check back here.

Location: Democracy Center in Harvard Square, Cambridge

FAQ
