Are you curious to learn more about different support roles for Extinction Rebellion Boston?

SOS Decision Making and Facilitation: In this 90-minute session we will explore how XR's self-organizing systems make decisions using the tenets of Sociocracy(i.e. one song, many voices), how to facilitate meetings, and make proposals based on consent.

Other sessions will include:

• Arrest support: Provides direct personal support for arrestable people. They have all relevant personal information, will take the call from the police station, provide support at the police station and makes sure everyone gets home safely.

• Peacekeeping & deescalation: Help guide people where to go and keep protest safe by blocking traffic block of streets for us along the parade route.

• Media Support: Helps facilitate the interactions between the group and the media. Prepares press releases, coordinates photography, live-streaming, and footage to edit.

• Police Liaison: Conveys information and demands between the police and the group before/during actions. Helps to keep the police calm and reminds them of our non-violence.
