Introduction to Get in Formation
with Vision Change Win“Get in Formation: A Community Safety Toolkit” is a collection of security and safety practices built by years of learning from Black, Indigenous, and People of Color movements within the U.S.
From the toolkit: “At Vision Change Win, we believe that Community Safety includes the following: security, office and organizational safety, verbal de-escalation, physical de-escalation, personal safety, transformative justice processes, community safety neighborhood strategies, bystander intervention, and cop watch.
This toolkit will focus specifically on Verbal De-escalation, Office and Organizational Safety, and Security for events and actions, along with specific information tailored to this historical moment of both uprising and viral pandemic.”
