About this Event
IN Person at the Maritime Labour Centre
Lunch will be provided
This course will deal with a brief history of protests/civil disobedience in British Columbia. It will cover the most effective way to organize or participate in a protest. The course will also provide advice on steps you can take in the event you are subject to an injunction and/or are arrested. It will review some of the most valuable readings on the subject, including several published in the past year or so. The material is designed to be of value and interest to members of trade unions, those working for progressive media, as well as those who’ve decided to actively engage in protest over one issue or another.
