Info

Legal Observers monitor law enforcement and ICE activity, take detailed notes, and document rights violations — without interfering or engaging.
Warning
You must complete Know Your Rights before taking on this role.

Care Station Support
These team members create calming, supportive spaces at the edge of direct actions. They offer water, emotional care, and supplies.
Hint
This role is ideal for people who want to help but don’t want to confront police directly.
De-escalation Lead
De-escalators are trained in verbal techniques, presence, and tension reduction. They are often front-line but non-confrontational.
Info
De-escalators need to stay cool under pressure and center community safety.
Tips for All Field Roles
- Stay calm, hydrated, and alert
- Practice your role with others in advance
- Use encrypted comms (Signal, Proton)
- Never promise more than you can deliver
- Report back via secure channels
Know Before You Go
Each of these roles has its own risks and responsibilities. You don’t need to do all of them — but you should do one well.
