DESCRIPTION:An informative & fun afternoon for:\n\nAnyone who is interested in 
 participating in upcoming nonviolent direct action - and -\nthose who are 
 willing to support others risking arrest - and -\nfolks who just want to 
 find out more before they decide.\n\nFacilitated by a team of experienced 
 trainers, we’ll prepare ourselves to engage in nonviolent direct action 
 to stop the Keystone Pipeline. The training will include a short Keystone 
 Tar Sands XL Pipeline Teach-In with the latest updates. We will also have a 
 group action photo to show the world we are getting ready for action, 
 including a mock takeover of the SF Federal Building.\nPlease RSVP if you 
 can attend: NextStepAction2013@gmail.com\n& dress for the weather.\n\nWe 
 have written letters, made phone calls, educated ourselves and others, 
 demonstrated in the tens of thousands, participated in Idle No More flash 
 mobs, and been arrested at the White House as we push President Obama to 
 stop the Keystone XL Tar Sands Pipeline. Yet we have no sign that Obama 
 will walk his climate talk and reject the pipeline. Additionally a 'deeply 
 flawed' State Department environmental report indicates approval may be 
 likely. It's time to organize ourselves to take nonviolent direct action 
 where we live and to raise the social and political cost for approving what 
 James Hansen calls "Game Over" for the climate. This training is part of 
 the Tar Sands Blockade week of Action.\n\nWe are asking everyone to do 
 three things to prepare:\n1) FORM A GROUP: Organize a group of people who 
 will participate in--or support those who do--nonviolent direct action to 
 stop the Keystone Pipeline. This "affinity group" could be people from your 
 organization, your friends, family, community, congregation, union, school, 
 neighborhood, etc. Consider attending the March 23 Training together.\n2) 
 PARTICIPATE IN SAT MARCH 23 TRAINING: Invite your friends and groups 
 members. Down loadable fliers at 350bayarea.org\n3) ATTEND SAT MARCH 30 
 ACTION MEETING: Attend or if you are part of a group send at least on 
 person to the Action Planning and Coordination Meeting on Sat March 30th, 
 1-3pm. Location TBA. We will plan and coordinate mass nonviolent direct 
 action in the Bay Area.\n\nPlease RSVP if you can attend:
