Training Convergence for Biotech Actions
In June, the biotech industry will be having its largest annual conference in, guess where? San Francisco! Sponsored by Monsanto, among others. What are they thinking of? you might ask. They clearly aren¹t thinking that local activists will create a mobilization that will both make the word Œbiotech¹ synonymous with fear and loathing, AND pose such attractive and positive alternatives that revolution will become irresistable. We want to make this mobilization a model of how to organize, build coalitions, and do effective, empowering, capacity- building outreach. Our plan is to send outreach teams around the Bay Area and throughout the state, to offer weekend convergences that include biotech basics, training in direct action, affinity group formation, facilitation and consensus, an introduction to permaculture, and whatever others skills or subjects a community may request. But we need you to make this happen. If you have experience in direct action, OR permaculture, OR facilitation, consensus, media, organizing, etc. and want to share your skills on an outreach team, either in the Bay Area or beyond, please come to the training convergence Feb. 15 at St. Boniface Church in San Francisco to help us cocreate the trainings and the teams. Skillshare, Training for Trainers and Cocreation of Outreach Teams Share tools and processes from the trainers¹/facilitators¹ toolbox, design agendas, and practice presenting material to design an outreach program that can inspire and empower people for the June actions and other upcoming direct actions. Improve your skills at creating effective agendas and workshops. Begin forming and scheduling outreach teams. Sunday Feb. 15 10-5 St. Boniface Church 133 Golden Gate San Francisco, CA Bring lunch to share Contact Starhawk stella@mcn.org 415-640-5872 to preregister (Please let us know that you are planning to come.) |
