Legal Workshop

https://squ.at/r/a0o9

The Arrestantengroep (Legal Support Group) is joining us this Sunday to give an extensive legal workshop. People with all levels of experience are welcome to join. Seasoned activists as well as newcomers, and those just very curious - you are all very encouraged to join.

What to do when you're arrested? What are your rights? What do you do during an interrogation? What does the Arrestantengroep do? What are the benefits of staying anonymous? How can you prepare for arrest and actions? What is security culture, how can we best practice it?

In this workshop we will go over all of these questions and more. We will also do an interactive interrogation training. 

 

The formal education system affects us all. Not only are we forced to attend schools growing up, but academic research shapes our governments, our news, and how we view the world around us. As much as many of us want to believe in the promise of institutional education, the sad fact is that our schools and universities are undemocratic and elitist. They perpetuate inequalities instead of giving people the tools to fight them. This world is fucked.

Here at Radical Sunday School, though, we know that another world is possible. Everyone should be able to direct their own learning, to grow together with their communities, and to live as though they’re already free. There are countless examples of movements already putting these ideas into practice. This collective is trying to follow in their footsteps, organizing to explore new ways of learning based on principles of autonomy, mutual aid, and egalitarianism.

This is not intended to be a course that you would have to follow all the way through. Jump in and out whenever you like. Sessions will be held every Sunday, except for every second Sunday of the month (when Joe’s Garage is having an open assembly)
