RUCKUS

The Ruckus Society sees itself as a toolbox of experience, training, and skills. We provide instruction on the application of tactical and strategic tools to a growing number of organizations and individuals from around the world in skill shares and trainings that are designed to move a campaign forward. We do this work in strong collaboration with our partner organizations, working together to define and create the training agenda... Ruckus has trained and assisted thousands of activists in the use of nonviolent direct action. We either bring activists to us (at Training Camps or Skillshares) or we go to them (community-requested tailored trainings). Through these trainings, we help people learn the skills they need to practice nonviolent direct action safely and effectively. These trainings contain cerebral elements as well as physical, classroom-style instruction for action planning, communicating with the media, building leadership and political analysis, and nonviolent philosophy..
