with Resilient Voices Alliance
Nonviolent Direct Action (NVDA) training is the embodiment of activism. By empowering ourselves through knowledge, practice, and connection we learn to resist oppression. Integral to NVDA is de-escalation; techniques that channel anger within our protest spaces, our communities and ourselves. This workshop is holistic and rooted in care; a healing process, embracing our collective strength allowing us to manage our trauma, pain, rage and guilt within a safe environment.
Resilient Voices Alliance (RVA) are a small team, ranging in ages, experiences and backgrounds. We aim to help everyone find ways of nonviolently communicating, taking action, advocating, disrupting and speaking up for justice, while staying present with our humanity and respecting the humanity of others too. We do this through workshops/trainings that are free and as accessible as possible.
