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. =20

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. =20

	*	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 =

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.
