Cop Watching 101
This training focuses on the basics of cop watching during instances of police harassment and violence. The goals of this training are to quickly train the average person in basic cop watching laws, methods and safety considerations and to promote cop watching as a method of bystander intervention. The workshop will utilize historical context, small and large group discussions, and role-playing to better equip workshop attendees to cop watch in their daily lives.
Available in both English & Spanish!

Bystander Intervention 101
This training focuses on ways to intervene in public instances of racist, anti-Black, anti-Muslim, anti-Trans, and other forms of oppressive interpersonal violence and harassment while considering the safety of all parties. In addition to group discussion, the training utilizes role-plays as a primary tool in practicing intervention techniques and learning new ways to protect ourselves and our communities.
