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? In this presentation we'll walk through recent research into framing and communication in the environmental justice movement and how we can use it to supercharge our communications this year and beyond
In 2021 Animal Rebellion is entering into an exciting new phase with campaigns popping up left, right and centre. However, it can sometimes seem a little daunting to start a campaign in your area if its not something you've done before. This training will go over the basics of how to plan and implement a successful campaign. It will touch on campaign theory as well as going into examples of effective campaigns and how they won. This training is great for those working on the plant-based councils campaign or for anyone who wants to start to see real change in their area towards a better world.
"A training aimed at encouraging safe protest and informing rebels of their rights. Teaching rebels how to engage with the police, acknowledging the disproportionate policing of marginalised groups and the role of white, able bodied privilege. Aiming to create a safer protest environment by empowering all UK rebels with the knowledge to understand the widespread discrimination within policing, their legal rights and to be aware of how to limit risk to themselves and others. REBEL SAFE!"

"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.

By the end of this training, you will be able to monitor the police's actions, whilst also trying to safeguard[…]

"People’s Assemblies are a way for a group of people to discuss issues or make decisions collectively, where all voices are heard and valued equally and no one person or group are able to dominate the process. People’s Assemblies play a vital role in our decision making process, and even more so during the rebellion where we will need to hold impromptu assemblies depending on the situations we encounter. In this assembly, we will be discussing the following question - 'How do we best incorporate alternative & non-hierarchical systems into our daily lives?'"
Learn the basics of De-escalation rooted in Nonviolent Communication. How might you de-escalate a tense situation with someone who disagrees with you but is in dialogue with you? How might you de-escalate with very angry or drunk people in protest situations? How might you authentically express your motivation for being involved in Animal Rebellion? Come and learn and expand into empathic connection with those who might disagree or want to disrupt you. This session is an Intro to NVC De-escalation skills, for use during Animal Rebellion actions and for use in other social change movements utilising NVDA to support these movements to cultivate a stronger culture of nonviolence. Skills learnt are of use in actions as well as in meetings[…]
