Summary

The ANV-COPA French-language single-page printable NV-action preparation fiche — what to think through and decide before a non-violent action, condensed to a one-page form.

Body

ANV-COPA (Action Non-Violente — Coordination OPtions Adaptées) is the French-language successor to the COPA and ANV networks; its Fiche de préparation d’action non-violente is a single-page printable preparation sheet designed to be filled in by a small action team before the day of the action [source: anv-copa-prepa-action]. The fiche captures the most common planning failure mode — an action that looked like a good idea at the meeting but had not been thought through at the level of who does what, what we do if X happens, how we make sure the trial and the post-action debrief are not afterthoughts — by forcing the team to answer a structured set of questions [source: anv-copa-prepa-action].

The fiche covers: scenario — what is the action, where, when, and how will it escalate or de-escalate; participants — who is in the action team, what skills are present, who can play which role; material needs — what physical objects, what phone numbers, what food and water, what money; legal contacts — the lawyer on call, the legal-observer identity, the bail fund; post-action — who runs the post-action debrief, who writes the public communication, who manages the trial handoff [source: anv-copa-prepa-action].

The fiche is published as CC-BY-NC-ND — short quotes with attribution, not for adaptation [source: anv-copa-prepa-action]. This is the closest French equivalent of the Greenpeace USA roles-and-logistics grid and the BFGA worksheet.
