Description: Want to help keep our actions safe, organized, and powerful? Join us for an official Marshal Training hosted by Worcester Indivisible. Whether you’re brand new to nonviolent direct action or just want to brush up on your skills, this session will cover both NVDA essentials and marshal techniques — open to anyone ready to learn and support actions in any role.
We’ll cover: What is NVDA [Non-Violent Direct Action] What a marshal is and why they matter How to cork intersections and control flow Leapfrogging techniques to support mobile protests/marches De-escalation tips and safety awareness Signal App 101 for secure group communication How to support accessibility and inclusion on the ground And most importantly — how to keep each other safe while standing up for justice
📣 This training will be interactive, and discussion based. You’ll leave with real tactics, scripts, and tools you can use right away. We’ll also go over what to do in case of police presence, counter-protesters, or emergencies. No prior experience is required — just bring your curiosity, your questions, and your commitment to keeping our community strong. You are also not required to Marshal at any time by attending this event, we encourage anyone and everyone to attend it simply to grow their skills and feel more comfortable during actions.
🧭 This is a great entry point if you’ve ever thought: “I want to help, but I don’t know where to start.” Please RSVP so we can plan for time. Let’s build the infrastructure we need for bold, safe, and effective action in Central MA!
