Peaceful Resistance Training at WESPAC – POSTPONED

January 26, 2015 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

PEACEFUL RESISTANCE WORKSHOPS

 These skill-building workshops are being organized in response to the expansion of the Spectra Algonquin gas pipeline and its associated gas infrastructure in Rockland, Westchester and Putnam Counties and through Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The final decision about the massive fracked gas project will be made this winter, and it will impact residents throughout the entire region.

Trained facilitator Susan Rubin will provide the history of the social justice movement and the ways in which peaceful resistance is employed. She will teach us about roles and skills needed to carry out peaceful resistance and prepare people to organize actions. The skills you learn here can be applied to many other social justice movements.

Due to the storm that is being forecast for tomorrow (Monday) evening, we are postponing our civil disobedience training with Susan Rubin.  We are aiming to re-schedule for the second week in February and will update the website and Facebook page as soon as we have the date confirmed.
