Women-only NVDA training, 18 Jan 2014, London

In January Action AWE is holding a day of women-only nonviolent direct action training. It will be a safe space to learn NVDA (non-violent direct action) skills.

The training will take place on Saturday 18th January, at the Feminist Library (Elephant & Castle). 10 am until 5pm, bring and share lunch. To book a place or if you have questions, please contact jo(at)altedunet.co.uk

We will share skills for planning and taking non-violent direct action, to help you form a group to plan and take effective, empowered direct action safely and confidently. Key skills covered include understanding confrontation, supporting each other, and working together as a group. There will be a focus on what women’s NVDA might look like, and room to talk about fears and expectations. The trainers Denise Drake from Quaker training organisation Turning the Tide and Clare Cochrane from Action AWE are both experienced in nonviolent direct action and in training and group work.

Please feel free to come with a friend or with a group of women with whom you’d like to take action! There is space for up to 20-25 women.

Suggested donation for the day is on a sliding scale, between £5 ~ £10. However, if you cannot afford that, please do get in touch. We do not want anybody to be excluded due to financially not being able to pay the donation.

“Spending £100 billion on replacing Trident is a catastrophic folly. I’m sure I am one of many who support the those, like Action-AWE, who campaign actively and imaginatively against it”

John Hurt

".....the government has pledged to rebuild a new generation of British nuclear weapons at enormous cost and at a time when social services budgets including those for health and education are being drastically cut. Having nuclear weapons doesn't make us safer, it just brings the possibility of nuclear conflict ever closer. We need to protect this planet not put it at even more risk of destruction. We all have a voice so please use yours and join me in supporting ACTION AWE." John Hurt
