Get ready for the Republican National Convention! Trainings in protest health and safety, no your rights, direct action and affinity groups.

A sweeping call for direct action and civil disobedience has been made for the Republican National Convention happening in New York City at the end of August. This is a critical moment to stand up and say no to Bush, not to the US Empire! It is important to be as prepared as possible for whatever may come your way while in NYC whether you are part of direct action or part of permitted events. Mobilization for Global Justice as part of the DC conventions coalition is hosting a set of trainings to do just that.
