Rapid Response Team: Safety Marshal Training

### The ACLU is seeking DMV-based volunteers interested in serving as marshals and de-escalators during non-violent and lawful rallies, pressers, and community activations. The right to assemble is fundamental to our democracy, and we will always work to protect it. In order to join our Rapid Response Rally Team, members must attend an upcoming Safety Marshal Certification training, detailing how to ensure we can lawfully, safely, and effectively exercise our right to protest. **Join the ACLU for a virtual Rapid Response Rally Team training on Monday, September 21st at 7 PM ET.** During this training, we’ll share how Rally Team Marshals can: - Coordinate rally attendees and activists - Create a barrier around attendees - Maintain situational awareness and communicate any escalating situations - If an escalating situation arises, calm tension and defuse the threats - Strategies to safely resist intimidation efforts **WHAT: ACLU Rapid Response Rally Team Training** **WHEN: Monday, September 21st at 7 PM ET** **WHERE: On Zoom- RSVP for the link!** By completing this form, I am joining the ACLU’s People Power volunteer program and agreeing to receive emails, calls, or texts from the ACLU, its state affiliates, and their representatives about ways to take action and support the ACLU organizations.
