This online workshop is all about our core purpose as a movement, what our goals are and what tools we use to get there. Learn about the pillars of support, why we aim our actions towards the Government, how we shift hearts and minds of the public and the key principles of Civil Disobedience. There is an opportunity to explore these concepts together and discuss our 2020 strategy.
"15 years ago a group of activists known as the SHAC 7 were found guilty of using their website to incite attacks on those who did business with Huntingdon Life Sciences, one of the biggest animal testing labs of its kind. In response to a grassroots campaign against injustice, the FBI and US government threw their full weight into branding these young people as terrorists and getting them put away. The documentary The Animal People tells the story of the SHAC campaign, allowing us to learn from history when developing our own strategies. Last month as part of our ongoing Animal Rebellion Arts Space we sat down and watched this documentary and now we're going to have the chance to[…]

"NB: By coming to this training, it does NOT mean that you are a legal observer; you will be someone who has some very useful skills when witnessing forms of policing. When at an action, the police also generally turn up. In this training, you will learn how to effectively monitor the following: - Arrests - Stop and Searches We recognise that the police often (and generally do) use their powers in a discriminatory manner to target Black people, POC, LGBTQ+ and disabled people (to name a few), due to institutional racism, sexism, transphobia and ableism within the police force. By the end of this training, you will be able to monitor the police's actions, whilst also trying to safeguard[…]
In 2018 XR launched with a bang with a message of urgency. Now, 3 years later, is it time to reconsider our use of emergency messaging as a movement?

Oppression, movement building and our relationships as activists. Note: We've experienced large numbers of people registering for this workshop and not turning up. This prevents others from registering and attending because the workshop is sold out. So we ask you to only book if you can attend and cancel your ticket in good time if you find you can't make it. ----- We are members of XR looking at how movements can be divided when oppression goes unaddressed, offering practical tools to heal these divisions which affect our relationships as activists. This workshop will address the importance of understanding the structural nature of oppressions (such as racism, sexism, classism, ableism, the oppression of young people, ...), as well as doing[…]
On 24th April 2021 every citizen of the UK is invited to mark the Kinder Scout trespass wherever and however they can. Together we will remember our radical roots and reclaim our most fundamental rights: to walk, to wander, to live. And soon, when covid allows, we will gather together for a monumental & inspirational Mass Trespass, the likes of which our Kinder Scout ancestors would be proud… ✊🏿 ✊🏼 ✊🏽 ✊🏾 ✊🏻 In 1932, five men were jailed for their role in organising the Kinder Scout trespass of April 24th. Their crime? Walking on a hill where they were not supposed to. This April 24th we will commemorate their actions with a trespass of our own, reconnecting with each[…]
This training will teach you valuable skills, in witnessing arrests and police behaviour. It will empower you to take responsibility for the safety of other rebels around you at a protest, and particularly focusses on the greater risk faced by marginalised rebels. This is NOT legal observer training, and witnessing arrests is not a role, but a skill. This is a remote training hosted on zoom.
