Texas Keystone Convergence

The Tar Sands Blockade is hosting a three-day training in the East Texas area for environmental activists hoping to engage in nonviolent direct action against the Gulf Coast portion of Keystone XL pipeline.

Participants will focus on learning, implementing, and imagining new tactics for nonviolent blockades and other forms of direct action. This camp will take place outdoors in the Texas summer, so people should come prepared for very hot weather. Participants will be camping on site, and while special arrangements may be available, the nature of this camp may make it difficult for those with physical conditions that limit their ability to be in hot environments for long periods of time.
