Thanks to you, Occupy Chicago was able to kick off the Chicago Spring with the wildly successful April 7th event this past weekend. This was only the first of many upcoming Chicago Spring actions and to get you ready for more, Occupy Chicago will be hosting a spring training session this weekend! Longtime activist and organizer Lisa Fithian will be providing training in nonviolent non-violent direct action, group process, mobile tactics, and affinity groups with an eye towards the whole host of exciting Chicago Spring actions coming up on Mayday, the Nato Summit, and much more!
Bring friends, families, and co-workers and join us as we build the capacity and skills to better challenge the 1% and bring about true democracy in the country!
Lisa Fithian has been working for nonviolent social change since the mid 1970’s. Over the years she has been a student, labor and community organizer on a broad range of issues. From environmental justice to student and worker rights, from peace and global justice to immigration and housing, Lisa continues to use a wide range of strategies and tactics and has encouraged the use of nonviolent direct action as one of the most effective strategies for change. Her experience with mass summit demonstrations dates back to the 1999 Seattle WTO protests and since played an active role in providing training and organization in numerous global justice movement gatherings. Recently, she has been deeply active in the Occupy Wall Street movement and has provided training to numerous occupations throughout the country.
