Action Skills 101 - Know Your Rights Training
Although targeted to animal rights activists, information discussed in this event will help activists of all types. Included will be speakers from the ACLU of Pennsylvania, Earth First!, and Animal ACTivists of Philly.
Speakers have direct experience with the police, FBI, and Homeland Security - arrest, jail, and bail proceedings. But of course the goal is to avoid arrest, unless it is important to your campaign. Both courses of action will be covered.
Topics of discussion include your rights in protest situations and beyond, what to do if you are assaulted, and role play of police interactions.
