Building Skills for Spiritually Grounded Nonviolent Action

11/23/2025, 2-5 pm

Led by Central Philadelphia Friends Meeting and the Earth Quaker Action Team (EQAT)

Celebrate Friends Center’s 50th anniversary by joining us for the next in our series of free, community-oriented trainings nonviolent action.

Join CPFM & the Earth Quaker Action Team (EQAT) for an immersive training designed to equip you with the essential tools and strategies of powerful nonviolent direct action. Whether you consider yourself new to taking action or a seasoned action taker with expertise to share, this interactive workshop will deepen your understanding and sharpen your skills with a focus on:

  • Power, Targets, and Rebels: we will explore how to identify key decision-makers and understand the crucial role of rebels within a movement ecosystem. We’ll dismantle the conventional understanding of power and discover how to leverage consent and influence for change.
  • Beyond Marches and Rallies: Campaigns don’t win all at once – they win through taking successful steps. Being able to break down the steps towards winning is a key skill for successful strategizing. Practice designing inventive actions, and share ideas for creative, strategic tactics.
