As we move farther and farther into whatever comes next, Diablo Rising Tide is offering a workshop on “Advanced Safety & Security for Street Actions.”
This four-hour program will cover
- 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.
The trainers emphasize that this is “an advanced (201-level) training, and participants should have some NVDA experience.”

As we face a never-ending news cycle of atrocities committed against our communities, it is essential that we ground ourselves in community organizing and resist the regime that seeks to keep us fearful and powerless. Now is the time to come together, bring your neighbors and friends, and get ready so we can stay ready.
To ensure you are fully prepared to take action safely, confidently, and powerfully, ACLU is hosting a crucial pre-action training:
This training will cover key information and strategies, including:
- Knowing your rights during protests and encounters with law enforcement
- Practical tools and techniques for safety and de-escalation in tense moments
- Building the knowledge and strength to support others in the streets and beyond
When we know our rights, we can defend them. Let’s get ready to protect our community and freedoms together.
Spanish translation and American Sign Language interpretation will be available for this program. Traducción al español estará disponible.
Catch you there!
