Participants in the November 1 Idaho Flood the System Training in Boise requested another, bigger, and better workshop, so Wild Idaho Rising Tide (WIRT) and allies are hosting the Idaho Flood the System Trainings 2.  Please join us between 12 noon and 3 pm on Sunday, November 15, to learn non-violent direct action skills and to plan Idaho gasland protests.  Converge in the Gates Room of the main, downtown Boise Public Library, 715 South Capitol Boulevard in Boise, Idaho.  The following revision of the original event announcement further describes this workshop and previous, similar trainings.  Thanks!

#FloodtheSystem is a callout this fall to flood, blockade, occupy, and shut down the systems that jeopardize our future.
