Power In Protest: Preparing For Street Demonstrations

Online Workshop with Rev. Jerry Maynard
Thursday, July 6th
2-4pm Pacific /3-5pm Mountain /4-6pm Central /5-7pm Eastern
Fee: $30, scholarships available

Contrary to popular belief, protesting is not simply about creating pretty signs, marching down a street, and singing "feel good" songs. Various strategies, tactics, and tools have been developed over the decades to aid in the work of global transformation. In this training, organizers and activists will learn how they can empower themselves in preparation for public demonstrations within their local communities. 

Since we live in a time of ongoing, global health crises, we will also share information with you on "best practices" to aid in keeping yourself healthy while doing the work of justice. 

This training will be facilitated by nonviolence educator, peace activist, and long-time friend of Pace e Bene, Rev. Dr. Jerry Maynard (he/they). You can check out their bio below. 

Fee: $30. If you are in need of a scholarship, just let us know. No one will be turned away. Email us at info@paceebene.org
