Meetup: Strategy and Practice of Nonviolence + Hassle Line Training

Nonviolence is a core value in DxE and a key part of our strategy to achieve animal liberation. At this Meetup we’ll be hearing from certified nonviolence trainer, Lewis, on why nonviolence is an important principle and strategy. We will also do a practice exercise called a ‘hassle line training’ in which we practice responding nonviolently and not reacting at all in the face of harassment.
