Subject: [Imc-chicago] ISO trainers for Chicago media training event
April 25-27
Hey folks,
RAN's sponsoring a direct action training and have slotted in time for
a media training (tentative times, still) - and we'd love for a solid
local media trainer to share their skills with the 50 or so
participants we expect to have during the training. Please let me know
if you can think of any appropriate trainer (and we do have a stipend
available to pay them for their time!)
My contact info: ssmith@ran.org, 415-398-4404.
Peace in the spirit of resistance,
Sharon

For years Rainforest Action Network has been at the forefront of the
radical ecology and environmental movement, using strategic non-violent
direct action to win protection for the world's endangered forests and
the cultures and creatures that call these places home. Our highly
effective activist network has used a variety of tactics such as
hanging banners, blockades of buildings and meetings, street theater,
protests, and stopping logging trucks and ships. These actions not
only call attention to the plight of the world's forests but also help
to stop the machine of destruction in its tracks. Over the years our
activists have consistently been on the front lines of the battle for
the Earth, from the streets of Seattle to the aisles of Home Depot and
beyond. And we want you to join the network!
RAN is committed to giving activists the tools they need to work
effectively and safely on the most pressing issues of our time. Our
network of activists work not only on RAN campaigns, such as stopping
Citigroup's destructive fossil fuel investments or Boise's old growth
logging, but also use direct action to get results on issues of concern
in their own communities.
The Strategic Action Training is offered in key regions throughout the
U.S. and is a weekend long intensive. Our program features the best
local trainers available coupled with skilled RAN trainers. In
addition, RAN trainers are available to assist you with your specific
needs for individual campaigns and projects.

What you can expect from the Strategic Action Training:
While each weekend intensive is different based on the needs and
resources of the local communities, here are some topics that are
generally covered in our trainings:
* Non-violent direct action
* Working with the media
* Campaign strategy
* Street theater
* Direct action planning and design
* Legal issues for activists
* Blockades
* Fundraising
* Recruitment
* Grassroots organizing
Our program works to give you the hands-on training you need to feel
comfortable with a variety of scenarios and tactics. We use
discussions, role-plays, and taking the training out into the streets
to make our weekends interactive, fun, and applicable.

REGISTRATION
YES! I am interested in attending RAN's Strategic Action Training. RAN
works to keep the cost of our trainings to a minimum. Most of our
programs cost about $20.00 for the weekend. Scholarships are
available, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
