Direct action has played an integral role in most movements for social change, from the civil rights era to the suffragettes, and from forest defense to worker justice movements. This workshop is for people who are newer to direct action and are interested in learning about different kinds of direct action, as well as the basics of when, why and how to integrate direct action into your campaigns. Topics to be covered include: campaign strategy, choosing an action that suits your goals, building your action team, common roles in a direct action, decision making at actions, basic safety considerations, and escalation and de-escalation during actions.
