Community Safety Teams How to De-escalate with CLARA #WeKeepUsSafe CENTER YOURSELF - Find a place of calm and recognize the person's humanity and dignity LISTEN - For feelings and needs behind the expressed positions. AFFIRM - Their dignity, safety, and belonging and reflect back what you heard them say RESPOND - With open-ended questions that help them reframe the situation ADD - If there is any helpful information you can add, please share. For example, where they might be able to find resources. Community Safety Teams examples of de-escalation through distraction #WeKeepUsSafe * COMPLIMENTS * DANCING AND SINGING * PRETEND YOU LOST SOMETHING * OFFERING OR ASKING FOR GUM * ASKING FOR THE TIME * ASKING FOR DIRECTIONS * FAKING A MEDICAL INCIDENT (TEMPORARILY!) * ASKING "DO I KNOW YOU?" WHY THIS WORKS: YOU CAN CREATE A MOMENT OF PAUSE, GIVING EVERYONE'S SYSTEMS A BREAK BEFORE FURTHER ESCALATION AND/OR YOU CAN DRAW THE ATTENTION AND ENERGY AWAY FROM THE PERSON BEING TARGETED nonviolentpeaceforce.org

#ProtestSafely #NoKingsDay #WeKeepUsSafe
SPREAD INFORMATION, NOT PANIC When reporting or boosting potential threats: provide as much information as possible! REMEMBER! -> S.A.L.U.T.E >Size/Strength "5 to 6 law enforcement officers" >Actions/Activity "harassing random people on the street" >Location/Direction "Chicago, West of Millennium Park, on Michigan Ave" >Uniform/clothes "Dark Blue uniforms that say 'Police ICE' on the back" >Time and date of observation "12:45 PM January 20" iEquipment and weapons "They have helmets, vests and batons" Not a useful message: "URGENT!!! Potential ICE Raids on the west side!!!" "Where? When? What are they doing? How Many? What are they carrying?" USE YOUR JUDGEMENT! WE KEEP US SAFE! S.A L.U.T.E. Size: How many officers are visible? Activity: What is visibly happening? Are people being questioned ? Biometrics gathered? Detained? Location: Be precise with a subway station; intersection or address, versus an entire neighborhood (too vague, not easy to substantiate or respond to). Units/Uniforms: What letters, names, acronyms are visible on uniforms or vehicles? Many spotted units are confused with local NYPD units or other agencies (like National Guard) and are not ICE. Time: Be precise with date and time so you are not reposting hours or days old report info. Equipment: What is being used - flexicuffs? Weapons drawn? Door breakers? Thumbprint biometric scanners? Are there vehicles present, what kind, what is written on them or plates? Clear photos/videos are crucial in also assessing situations, especially when a real emergency exists. Clear photos/videos make ICE uniforms/units easier to recognize and distinguish from other agencies or local NYPD enforcement and National Guard, which are also being deployed en masse in subways and public spaces right now and who are also creating chaos.

The Trump regime is going to continue to abuse its power by sending National Guard troops into our streets.

Although the Frog Army of Portland is undoubtedly well-prepared, we highly recommend reading up on how to interact with the Guard as it is different than engaging with ICE.
