Have you ever given thought to how *best* to prepare for taking part in public protest? Wondered what you could possibly do to help someone being harassed? Ever considered taking part in an act of civil disobedience?

Part 1 10-12: How to go from being a "bystander" to an UPSTANDER!
What do you do if you see hate-based harassment? Learn to better predict incidents *before* they happen; how to align with potential targets; de-escalation; safe escape, and much more.
Part 2: 12-2 (Working Lunch - Bring your own lunch & snack to share!) Activists and newcomers are invited to participate in an interactive training on how to be an effective and safe person of conscience in today's political environment. Topics include: Safety, safety, safety!; Rules of engagement; Finding the types of actions that are right for you; All the what-ifs; and yes, How to get arrested. (Also, how NOT to get arrested!)
