Training for Change was founded by renowned educator and author, George Lakey, whose books have included A Manual for Direct Action and Powerful Peacemaking: A Strategy for a Living Revolution.
TfC’s philosophy is based on a strict non-violent philosophy. The training will help groups stand up more effectively for justice, peace and the environment. Their literature emphasizes a “direct education” experiential learning approach.
The value of the training for each of us will be enriched by the opportunity to cross- fertilize with other activists engaged in various state-wide campaigns and by the participation of several state and national Veterans for Peace leaders.
Our trainer, Andrew Willis Garcés, has worked with activists and campaigns across a broad spectrum: anti-war, labor, immigrant rights, Latin-American solidarity, public housing. For a complete biography: http://www.trainingforchange.org/andrew.willis.garc%C3%A9s
