Direct Action: n. The strategic use of immediately effective acts, such as strikes, demonstrations, or sabotage, to achieve a political or social end.
Why Direct Action?
No social justice movement in history has been successful without the strategic use of direct action. There comes a moment in every struggle when the power of everyday people needs to be felt, and when the community can only attain victory by advancing their front line.
In the next year we will face the eviction of 150 asylum seekers, cuts to social services and austerity measures, resistance to the g8 and the take back the land action camp as well as all the unexpected shitness etc.
Don't get scared, get prepared.

There will be trainings in action planning and affinity group working, public order situations, working with the media and legal support. there will be discussion about women and direct action as well as how we can be developing the use and support for direct action.
