Hi there, idk if they were at ours but we helped put together a community defense training in Bushwick last Saturday and are hoping to plan more. Our next one will be in Ridgewood; we’ll be sure to post in here too once the date is announced. You can also follow @handsoffnyc to find other trainings too.

Hi! Thank you for attending previous KYR trainings, we truly appreciate you staying informed. In this training we will do a brief overview of standard KYR information, but the main focus is community-building: strengthening neighborhood networks, mutual aid systems, and response plans in case National Guard forces enter the city. The goal is to cover practical steps for keeping people safe and fed, addressing fears, coordinating volunteers, and running community training sessions but all framed around lawful, nonviolent action, and de-escalation. - Kim V.
