The goal of nonviolent direct action (NVDA) is to force an encounter between people and our government.

We confront our public servants and insist that they see themselves as human beings obligated to serve the public.

Direct action also reminds legislators that we are human beings who deserve to more fairly participate in making the collective decisions that govern our lives.

What is Nonviolent Direct Action?

Do you want to learn more about nonviolent direct action? How to plan and carry out an effective demonstration? How to integrate theater and art into your demonstrations?

PAC offers trainings by zoom and in person.

We will tailor our trainings to meet your needs. We also do periodic Nonviolent Direct Action Trainings for Trainers so you can become part of a state-wide PAC Trainers Group.

We don’t have time. Our communities are suffering. Our planet is dying. We need to take sustained direct action to save ourselves.
