Non-violent direct action uses peaceful protest to demand social and political change. People have used direct action throughout history. We act to raise the level and quality of public debate. Above all, we act to provoke action from those with the power and responsibility to make change happen. Earyn will also discuss the practicalities of NVDA - the risk levels, different roles involved, making actions more inclusive, and Greenpeace's duty of care to our participants. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfJVOWultWf9JV0NM3CEjr7N2FrwyLMzVwb3LVhzz1DWL1hvw/viewform">https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfJVOWultWf9JV0NM3CEjr7N2FrwyLMzVwb3LVhzz1DWL1hvw/viewform</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>_______________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoPlainText><b><span lang=EN-US style='color:#ED7D31'>The Art of Wellness: Strategies to Maintain Your Mental Health<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoPlainText><span lang=EN-US>Fri.
