LO W 3 4 Feeling feisty with fascist executive orders raining down every day? 350 Eugene wants to help you direct your energy in a meaningful way with Non-Violent Direct Action Advanced Skills Training. The keynote will be Leonard Higgins, a prominent environmental activist who’s facing trial soon for a protest in which “a few people shut down all of the tar sands coming in from Canada,” according to organizer Sandra Clark. The training will include a variety of different options for activists of all stripes, Clark says. “This is a civil disobedience training. We’ve been doing trainings that are the same as those of the civil rights movement, anti-apartheid movement or anti-nuke movement.” Participants can learn how to encrypt their electronic devices, how to effectively use Twitter and photography, how to support arrested and jailed comrades, and basic medic training for protests. According to Clark, 350 Eugene hopes to teach people how to plan, supplement and support peaceful, safe and effective events. Clark adds that activists can learn how to organize and run a rally at the “action design” work- shop. “We feel like we’re covering all the bases here.” She says, “When you feel compelled to do something, there’s a space in every movement for any level of engagement.” Standing Together: Non-Violent Direct Action Advanced Skills Training is 10 am to 4 pm Saturday, Feb. 4, at the First United Methodist Church, 1376 Olive St. Contact tngolvr@gmail.com for info or visit world.350.org/Eugene for the schedule.
