From the Black Lives Matter uprisings to Minnesota’s “Day of Truth and Freedom” to the No Kings protests and more, large-scale mobilizations require many people with specific skills working in coordination to succeed.

If you’ve ever been curious how events like these work and want to learn the skills involved, join Free DC and partners for a Skill Training Bootcamp the week of November 16-19. Over four consecutive nights we’ll offer trainings on key skills like How to Mobilize, Action Comms, Action Safety, and Sounds + Visuals.

On Wednesday, November 18, Action Safety will talk about the people who help keep large events as safe as possible: crowd marshals, legal observers, and other de-escalators. If you're someone who looks out to make sure your friends all stay together, this is the training for you!

We encourage everyone to choose one Bootcamp session to attend, and to experiment with putting the skills you learn into action.

Register below to attend. This event will be held in-person in the 20009 zip code. Location details will be shared after registration.
