As activists are fighting on multiple fronts, and state repression
is ramping up across the country, it's more important than ever to know
your rights and learn the skills to keep your affinity group as safe as
possible. In this training, we'll offer an updated view on the legal
landscape for activists, and provide a clear, practical understanding of
how to keep yourself and your comrades safe(r) in a variety of street
action scenarios.
In this four-hour training, you'll learn:
- Your rights in action scenarios (and how cops try to trick you out of them!), plus ways to provide legal and jail support for your affinity group.
- Digital security tactics to protect your devices and information.
- How to become a police liaison for your affinity group, and why a PL is so important!
- Deescalation skills for a variety of confrontational groups, including police, bystanders, vigilantes, federal agencies (like ICE), and more.
- Strategies for dealing with chemical and other "non-lethal" weapons deployed by law enforcement.
This is an advanced (201-level) training, and participants should have some NVDA experience.
