Join us for a few important updates, and a special training focused on de-escalation for political demonstrators.
The presentation on de-escalation for the political demonstrator will be provided by members of **Arizona Three Arrows Combat Medics (ATACM)**, an all volunteer collective of street medics formed in the summer of 2025 to support Migra Watch rapid response efforts and demonstrations against Dept of Homeland Security terrorism.
The presentation will include threat modeling and risk assessment, techniques and equipment, pre-action preparedness, and a role-play scenario! Attendees will gain a stronger grasp of how to reduce the risk inherent to participating in a diverse movement of political action.
**A core principle behind all Desert Democracy events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.**
