Another resource from the unfortunately disbanded Midnight Special Law Collective, this workshop outline covers non-violent street action. The workshop is almost two hours long and isn't theory heavy. Instead, the facilitator is encouraged to promote discussion and explain suggestions for meaningful action. This workshop includes:

Exercises about defining violence

Role plays about non-violent reactions to violence

Police liaison role play

Tactics to deal communally with police violence

Handouts

Active role plays

Facilitation frameworks

Practical facilitation tools
