Bold action to mitigate the climate and social justice crisis is more urgent than ever. 

Join hundreds of activists who have taken this comprehensive training in nonviolent direct action with Extinction Rebellion (XR). The power of our collective action may be our last line of defense against the ever-worsening climate emergency. Join us as we set a vision for a more vibrant future in 2022.

These trainings will prepare you for future direct actions with Extinction Rebellion and welcome you into an amazing community of folks working for climate justice. These events will be in person and are family friendly with lunch and child care provided! At these trainings we'll cover the following;
