Learning to Co-Resist: A Workshop with Trish Mills

Join an interactive conversation exploring the concept of violence vs non violence and what that means as individuals and collectively. As part of the 16 Days of Activism hosted by Guelph Wellington Women in Crisis, OPIRG Guelph is pleased to invite you to Learning to Co-Resist! In news media and movements we often hear terms like violence and non-violence, or peaceful and nonpeaceful. But what do these actually mean to you as an individual and in your work – or collectively, to us? This workshop works with groups of people to help individuals explore those definitions themselves through (sometimes difficult) interactive conversations, using historical and recent liberation movements for context. We also discuss policing in movements, why it might be pertinent to exclude police from our organizing spaces and events, and when & how – even with differences of opinions – we can use simple concepts to work together for stronger movements. Join us for an amazing workshop facilitated by Trish Mills, a rad comrade from Hamilton, ON. Free food and drinks will be provided :)
