VIPIRG is helping out with this very important training being organized by the Forest Action Network at the end of March (29-31). Please share this widely and consider attending the training!

Unite to Stop the Pipelines
Spring Training Victoria March 29-31

This month in Victoria, meet the people on the frontlines against the pipelines – people like us, who found the courage to go beyond protesting and petitioning. Hear their stories and find out why their strategies for organizing and solidarity are winning.

How do ordinary people find the strength to turn back big corporations? On every continent, popular movements have overturned repression and put the boots to bad businesses. Now it's our turn. It takes unity to block a pipeline. It takes a community to turn back an oil tanker.

How will we win? We are creative, determined, and compelled by a love of the land. The... West Coast has a proud history of using peaceful action to defeat destructive corporations. Remember our history. Learn first-hand about the new ways we're bringing our diverse talents together to defend the land and water.
