An Introduction to Nonviolent Direct Action: Theory and Praxis

Join us for a two part series on the theory and praxis of NVDA! We will review campaign strategy and action tactics, run role-plays, and reflect on the power of fierce vulnerability in direct action work.
Wednesday’s virtual event facilitated by former Middlebury student, Divest Middlebury leader, and current No Coal No Gas organizer Leif Taranta, will focus primarily on the “head” (NVDA theory, action logic, and campaign strategy) while Friday’s in person training facilitated by students Connor Wertz and Hannah Laga Abram will be the “heart and body” (vulnerability, emotional regulation, and action roles). We encourage you to come to both, but it’s not a requirement.

Whether you are a beginner or an expert, this workshop is for you.
