Non Violent Direct Action Training

Humanity is sleepwalking toward extinction. The situation is dire, but we still have time — that is, if we do something and NOW.

Join hundreds of New Yorkers who have taken this comprehensive training in nonviolent direct action with Extinction Rebellion (XR) NYC. XR’s theory of change is not only our last line of defense against the ever-worsening climate emergency, but also sets a vision for a more vibrant future.

In this training, you’ll learn:

  • the why and how of XR including: our demands and principles, our self-organizing structure, our commitment to building regenerative cultures, and how they directly relate to nonviolent direct action

  • tactics for civil disobedience and what to expect when risking arrest

  • the many ways in which you can get involved with XR

This training will prepare you for future direct actions with Extinction Rebellion, give you a solid foundation in our DNA, and welcome you into an amazing community of folks working for climate justice.

Whether or not you ever plan on risking arrest (a decision that only you can make, based on your unique background and life circumstances), there are so many ways to get involved and grow this movement. We’re all a crew.
