Peaceful community protest workshops

Get involved in peaceful protest workshops

The Wilderness Society are holding peaceful community protest workshops in Northern Tasmania on March 16th & 17th, 2008. To participate call The Wilderness Society on 6224 1550.

In response to the overwhelming interest and engagement of community members around Australia, workshops in the important philosophies and skills of peaceful community protest are underway.

Peaceful community protest at the construction site is a last resort and we hope it will never be needed. However, we respect the growing feeling in the community that people wish to express their distress at the failure of successive government processes to properly and transparently consider a wide range of concerns about the mill, by peacefully protesting.

The workshops are designed to empower the community to stand up for their future.
