Direct Action Training
Prepare to Participate: Sit-In at ICE Law Enforcement Support CenterHarvest Lane, Williston, VT—Friday, November 6, 2026
Nonviolent Direct Action Training
ICE Out Vermont Alliance is providing two upcoming nonviolent direct action (NVDA) training sessions prior to our Williston action.
On November 6, 2026, a large group will walk as a somber funeral procession from the White Cap Business Park to the Law Enforcement Support Center (LESC) on Harvest Lane.
At the conclusion of the procession, individuals willing to risk arrest will participate in a sit-in. This civil disobedience action will strictly adhere to nonviolent principles.
Everyone who plans to participate in the civil disobedience part of the November 6th action must complete a training beforehand.
All sit-in participants—including those willing to risk arrest and those providing support roles—must meet these requirements:
- Have completed non-violent direct action (NVDA) training prior to the action, and
- Be a member of an affinity group.
If you aren't yet a member of an affinity group, it's not unusual to find your people during a training session. We still encourage you to attend a training, even if you don't yet have an affinity group.
Upcoming Training Sessions
If you haven't previously completed NVDA training or would like training that is specific to the November 6th action, we have two upcoming trainings. The training includes hands-on, interactive exercises designed to prepare participants physically and emotionally.
Pre-registration is required, as space is limited to 40 people per training. The suggested donation is $25 - $50 per person at the door. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
