Safety & Security Resources

A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action and no civil disobedience. 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.

Event hosts are encouraged to attend an upcoming safety and de-escalation training to learn more about how to integrate best practices into your event. Two trainings are being scheduled soon, so keep an eye on your email for an invite. A full recording and mini training will also be shared. 

Wherever you are and whatever your level of concern, these trainings are a great opportunity to learn about security best practices to consider for every event and how to build a safety plan to help ensure your event is as safe and welcoming as possible for all attendees. 

In addition, here are a few safety and security-related resources to check out:

If you should have any safety questions or concerns about your event, please email us at security@nokings.org.
