RESOURCES FOR INTERVENTION & DEESCALATION
We know that the state will not protect you -- especially not when the head of state promises to target populations vulnerable to its violence, and sanctions citizens to do the same. For these reasons, we collect here resources for bystander intervention and deescalation for those who wish to protect one other.
Be aware that bystander intervention and deescalation strategies do not necessarily require physical force. Intervention and deescalation are first and foremost about securing a targeted person's safety as well as your own.
Please help us update this collection as it grows by submitting resources to our CONTACT form.

We are each other's harvest; we are each other's business; we are each other's magnitude and bond.
