Participate in a Training

Trainings, workshops, and forums are a regular part of building this movement. We’re building solidarity with other movements that share similar struggles. We’re learning and cross-pollinating our ideas and skills. Announcements for trainings and workshops are posted here on shaleshock.org and also on the updates e-mail list. You can also see the “trainings” category to see what’s been done in the past.

Shaleshock 101 Study Group

Every so often, a Shaleshock 101 study group goes into session.  Shaleshock 101 is a comprehensive curriculum that covers everything from the basics of Gas Drilling to movement building and strategy. Over the course of five class sessions we’ll cover a broad spectrum of relevant topics. This class is based on a curriculum that began last year to expand the knowledge and capacity of participants to engage in a movement to protect our communities from exploitative drilling. The curriculum we use evolves and changes as it’s updated, fact-checked, and to meet the needs of participants. E-mail shaleshockoutreach@gmail.com for more info.

Volunteer!

Shaleshock has grown to be one of New York’s prominent movements for protecting ourselves from exploitative gas drilling. It’s a true grassroots movement, built ground up by volunteers–sustained with gifts and small donations. Through our organizing, shaleshock has become a vast network of friends and allies that collaborate and support eachother in collective leadership.

The best way to get involved with Volunteer roles is to attend a local meeting. Check out regional groups for more info. Shaleshock as a network hosts monthly meetings/social events.
