Teen Activism

Teen Activism Retreat

Starhawk and Dress join Teen Earth Magic for activist prep

Photos and text by Luke Hauser

Twenty teens, youth mentors, and teachers gathered in late February 2011 with longtime activists Starhawk and Dress for a weekend direct action intensive in Sonoma County, California.

The weekend included discussions, role plays, singing, group-building, and the liberation of the well-guarded fortress from the powers of All Bad Things.

Teen activism prep with Starhawk and Dress and Teen Earth Magic teachers.

Encounter group work prepares people for the tensions and pressures of protesting...

...and for the fun and excitement too.

The Broomsticks, one of four action affinity groups for the final role play, makes plans. Dividing protesters into smaller affinity groups allows for diverse tactics and more flexibility during an action as well as more intimate connections.

The Broomsticks are met by a fearsome cordon of heavily-armed riot police.

Teens debate their next move during the action role play.
