Direct Action Training
October 8th, 3-4:30pm
When planning and participating in a direct action, there is a lot to consider. What is the goal? What is the level of risk participants are okay with? What roles need to be identified and filled? Here to help, is Antonio Gutierrez from OCAD (Organized Communities Against Deportations). Antonio will provide participants with information and resources to consider when organizing a direct action in the city.
