Nonviolent Direct Action Training: Primer in Theory and Practice

The Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR) is offering a free two-part online training on Nonviolent Direct Action, October 5 and 12 at 3 PM EST. Led by experienced trainers Lisa Fithian (Alliance of Community Trainers) and Mary Link (NVDA Training Western MASS Team), the sessions will cover both theory and practice—exploring strategies of noncooperation, de-escalation, peacekeeping, mutual aid, and power-building. Participants will learn how authoritarian systems operate, how communities can organize collectively in response, and how nonviolence can sustain movements for justice. Open to FOR chapters, affiliates, peace fellowships, MFSA & other faith allies, and friends, the training offers practical skills and community support for resisting oppression and building what Dr. King called “the Beloved Community.”
