G.O.T. Power started September collaborating with the local movement of fast food workers,Memph15. We had the honor to provide training for the participants of the local strike on Sept. 4th.
We supported the Memph15 with two trainings: Third Party Nonviolent Intervention for a group of 12 people committed to keep the peace of the action, and a Nonviolent Direct Action training for the brave group of fast food workers doing civil disobedience.
It is our hope to continue collaborating with the local and state movements that are working and taking action for change.
