Ruckus Society
The Ruckus Society is a nonprofit organization that sponsors skill-sharing and direct action training camps for activists from impacted communities working on social justice, human rights, and environmental justice. Ruckus was founded by Mike Roselle and co-founded with Twilly Cannon and JR Roof to specialize in environmental activism and guerrilla communication.
The Ruckus Society's mission is to provide training in classic civil disobedience tactics as well as non-traditional and specialized skills such as urban rappelling and "locking down." The organization designs custom training camps based on the specifics of the activists, and uses popular education techniques to allow participants to discover the direct action knowledge they already possess.

Famous quotes containing the word society:
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
