Rising Tide is organizing a convergence weekend on April 4, 5 and 6th
called: No Pipelines!: Action Training for Climate Justice. This weekend
will be for mass movement trainings focused on building resistance across
our different organizing spaces to fight extreme energy expansion and its
numerous resulting oppressions across Turtle Island.

We would like to invite you/your collective/group/organization to this
event so we can learn from one another and strengthen our resolve to stop
the expansion of extreme energy, end the exploitation of human and natural
resources and offer our support to communities on the front lines of the
ecological crises.

This weekend is designed to share popular education on mass movement
building and citizen action - to prepare hundreds of folks for civil
disobedience and community organizing through skill shares and relationship
building. We are looking to use these skills and new connections to plan
public protests throughout 2014 against numerous mega projects
proliferating the landscape - from oil and gas pipelines, to coal export
terminals, from fracking and mining projects to incinerators. For the
future of all our communities and children - we need to act now.

Dates for No Pipelines! Action Training for Climate Justice are April 4, 5
and 6th and these trainings will be held at various locations in Vancouver
(including Russian Hall and The Dogwood Centre)

Highlights for the Weekend Training, include:

· Workshops on anti-oppression -Direct Action - Warrior Societies - Shaping
conditions for grassroots revolt - Planning and preparation for action -
Security culture & counter-surveillance - How to stop a goddamn pipeline -
Fundraising for radicals - Legal rights - Indigenous solidarity- affinity
group organizing - land defense (we are open to suggestions for other
workshops)

· Presentations by key grassroots community leaders

· Build a coalition to stop resource extraction

· Planning collaborative mass direct actions and protests for 2014

If you or your group/collective has any ideas for workshops, suggestions,
locations or other logistical issues to pass along please email:

Background:
The Joint Review Panel has approved the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline
from the tar sands to Kitimat. Approval is expected from the Harper
government at any time. Meanwhile, reports say that construction is
beginning on a lesser-known but equally destructive pipeline: Pacific
Trail, from the fracking fields of Northern BC to Kitimat. Pacific Trail,
which was appoved over a year ago, shares the western part of the route
with Enbridge. Enbridge and Pacific Trail are only two of the many
pipelines proposed for BC and across Canada.

Both projects are doomed, according to land defenders. Two years ago,
members of the Unis'tot'en clan of the Wet'suwet'en First Nation set out to
block the route for both pipelines. Indigenous leaders are occupying and
patrolling the territory as they always have. They have turned away
pipeline surveyors, a logging crew planning to clear the route, and RCMP
officers.
