Protests and demonstrations can be acts of transformation, and are a vital way of making our voices heard in this moment. Learn about your rights while protesting and strategies for responding to counter-protesters, law enforcement, or ICE. We will also practice tools for de-escalation, learn about specialized roles such as safety marshals, and practice role-playing through different scenarios. Join the aunties for learning and community-building over another tasty Asian meal.
AAPI New Jersey Needs You!
JOIN THE ASIAN AUNTY BRIGADE
Equip yourself with all the tools you need to participate in future actions, while getting to know other determined community members. Over the sessions, we’ll discuss the values we’re standing up for in this moment, practice the Korean protest drumming tradition of pungmul with Eunhee Ahn of Choomnoori, learn how to practice situational awareness and de-escalate situations, and more!
Choose daytime or evening sessions to suit your schedule. A tasty Asian meal will be served at each training. All sessions will be held at our office in downtown Montclair (address provided to registrants).
