Friends, allies and Greenpeace volunteers,
This February, Greenpeace will be gathering together with activists from across the country to hold a week-long direct action training in Florida ( http://greenpeace.org/usa/actioncamp ), while at the same time the Rainbow Warrior is at port nearby. 2012 promises to be an exciting year here at Greenpeace and there couldn’t be a better moment to build the skills, techniques, and strategies that the next generation of activists will need in order to quit coal and stop climate change, protect the oceans and forests, stop toxic pollution and transition to clean, sustainable energy.
At the camp, participants will learn:
● History and philosophy of nonviolent direct action
● Scouting and preparing for a direct action
● Discuss Greenpeace Campaigns with the campaigners themselves
● Blockade techniques
● Arts and prop making
● How to talk to media
● Know your rights and legal training
● Climbing in direct action scenarios
● Boat driving for water based direct action
And much more.
The deadline for applications is January 25th, so please share with your activist contacts, share with your volunteers, and apply today at:
