Know your history. Secure your future. Welcome to the North Bridge Training Institute. We offer classes in history, government, and political action. Our classes provide practical, engaging information about the world around you, its historical cycles, how your government affects you, and how to affect your government. If you are a grassroots activist working on civil rights and personal freedom issues like opposing the war on guns, ending the war on drugs, or protecting personal privacy and consitutional limits on power, we offer our activist training classes and conferences to show you how to effectively connect with your audience and communicate your message. The North Bridge Training Institute has launched CounterAttack, a new training conference designed to supercharge the grassroots activists fighting to defend our natural rights. We'd like to make the cutting edge of the real civil rights movement sharper! Read more... Our popular Engage! activist training class teaches you advanced techniques for presenting your ideas, organizing grassroots activism, getting positive media coverage, and defending your point of view. Taught from a pro-second-amendment perspective, the general Engage! techniques can be used to defend all manner of natural rights. |

Walking through a Grand Jury
In this article Attorney Larry Weiss walks us through a typical grand jury proceeding for an activist. He shows how easily a committed activist who puts their cause first can be jailed at a grand jury. His article is quite scary. Think about it, when they start asking you about your friends, their beliefs in direct action, your significant other, your involvement with radical groups, who you associate with, and other personal questions, are you going answer them?
