Join us at the CAA community space to discuss the book This Is an Uprising: How Nonviolent Revolt Is Shaping the Twenty-First Century by Marc and Paul Engler. At this first session, we’ll talk about the introduction and chapter 1. We’ll also share food.

CAA was founded on principles of strategic nonviolence, and this book talks about how to use use it as an effective strategy for social change. We’ll focus on how to apply the techniques discussed to animal liberation. We’ll also learn more about CAA’s history.

A few copies of the book are available to borrow. It also can be borrowed in e-book or hardcover from the Minneapolis Public Library.

Please email Laura Matanah at [email protected] if you plan to attend, or with any questions.

Strategic nonviolent action has reasserted itself as a potent force in shaping public debate and forcing political change. Whether it is an explosive surge of protest calling for racial justice in the United States, a demand for democratic reform in Hong Kong or Mexico, a wave of uprisings against dictatorship in the Middle East, or a tent city on Wall Street that spreads throughout the country, when mass movements erupt onto our television screens, the media portrays them as being as spontaneous and unpredictable. In This is an Uprising, political analysts Mark and Paul Engler uncover the organization and well-planned strategies behind such outbursts of protest, examining core principles that have been used to spark and guide moments of transformative unrest.
