My friend S wanted to make me aware of the events below and asked that I spread the word. I'll be teaching at a workshop and doing the show this weekend but this sounds like great work if you're interested.

-----

Sunday Feb. 1, 10am-5pm – Free 6-hour NVDA (Non-violent Direct Action) Training.

This will be an in-depth training that will cover all aspects of civil disobedience, getting arrested, legalities, strategy, etc. Our trainer
will be Annie Sartor, an organizer with Rainforest Action Network from San
Francisco.

Where: Irving Park Road and Damen Ave (brown line train).

RSVP: Questions or to sign up for any of these events, please email Debra with RAN Chicago at debramichaud73@gmail.com.
