Join Extinction Rebellion DC (XRDC) for a nonviolent direct action (NVDA) training and subsequent action.

Get trained up to join a movement of people who are stepping up to Resist the Fossil Fuel Billionaire Takeover! All over the country, thousands of activists, both new and experienced, are gathering to level up our skills and make a plan to confront fossil fuels, billionaires, and their takeover of our government. This training is intended for anyone who wants to engage in actions that effectively meet this political moment.

Traditional methods of demanding change, such as voting and lobbying, have not worked. This is why we turn to NVDA: We must use our collective power to stop business as usual and create a better future for all! Together we will confront the climate crisis and the worsening shift towards authoritarianism.

This will be a 4-hour, in-person training, starting promptly at 1pm. The training will be held at MLK Library, with the specific room location provided to those who register. An optional free vegan lunch (with gluten-free options) will be provided starting at 12pm. If you are not joining us for lunch, please be sure to arrive a few minutes before 1pm so that we can start on time.

Within a few weeks after the training, we will put our skills into practice by taking action together! During the training, participants will help decide the focus, location, and time of this action.
