Pittsburgh government agency promotes ‘Art Of Civil Disobedience’ class hosted by socialists, anti-Trump activists

A Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, government agency is promoting an upcoming class by local leftist groups on “civil disobedience” from its social media accounts.

The city’s Commission on Human Relations (CHR) reposted a joint announcement on Saturday advertising the event by the Pittsburgh chapters of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and the 50501 Movement on Instagram and X. The three-hour Tuesday evening talk will feature an unnamed “practitioner and trainer with extensive experience” and civil rights lawyer Mike Healey, according to the posts.

The session marks part two of a “Rebirthing Civil Disobedience” series hosted by the DSA and 50501 Pittsburgh, both taking place at the nonprofit Community Forge. Neither the organizations nor Healey immediately responded to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment.

“This session will offer tactical training in the art of civil disobedience, grounded in real-world experience and historical context,” the DSA wrote in its own announcement on Facebook. “Whether you are new to this work or looking to deepen your skills, this training is designed to help you grow more confident, effective, and prepared.”
