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.

“A society that has made “nostalgia” a marketable commodity on the cultural exchange quickly repudiates the suggestion that life in the past was in any important way better than life today.”
