FRANKLIN, MA – Courage Without Violence: Protest Safety & De-escalation

October 16 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm EDT

Led by the Boston Trainers Collective, this 90-minute workshop — Who Keeps Us Safe? We Keep Us Safe — will teach practical tools for community safety, marshaling, and de-escalation during nonviolent protests. Through role plays and real-world scenarios, participants will practice staying grounded, supporting one another, and managing tense moments with confidence.

We’ll kick off with a short, energizing warm-up — a few minutes of song, chant, and connection — to lift our voices before training begins.

What to expect:

Hands-on training: De-escalation, marshaling, and safety practice.

Collective care: Tools for well-being and mutual support.

Practical prep: “Know Your Rights” materials and live feedback.

Logistics: Water and cookies provided; safety marshals on site.

We’ll wrap up with reflections and next steps to prepare for No Kings Day 2 and beyond.

Please spread the word to friends and local groups in Medfield, Sharon, Norfolk, Millis, and beyond. Let’s fill the room with courage and community.

PLEASE SIGN UP HERE FOR THE EVENT
