Situation Awareness Training copy over sign of an icon person using an exit
Our political divide is deepening, and too many candidates and campaign workers have felt the tension in a tangible way: through threats of violence.
I love serving the public, yet I know I need to consider my personal safety and the safety of my staff and my family. I’m hoping this training will give me some foundational skills to use.”
DETROIT, MI, UNITED STATES, April 18, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- America’s political divide is deepening, and too many candidates and campaign workers have felt the tension in a tangible way: through threats of violence. To help Michigan campaigns identify and mitigate risks, marketing agency The Guerrilla Politic is providing situational awareness and personal safety training in partnership with Vigilante Consulting LLC on April 22nd from 11am-1pm in Detroit or via Zoom. The training will provide simple, actionable steps that anyone can take to improve their situational awareness and safety, whether they are canvassing, speaking at events, or going about their daily lives.— Michigan Representative Natalie Price (HD05)
Participants are looking for ways to increase confidence and feel more secure when working in highly visible roles. Last year’s participants also appreciated that The Guerrilla Politic was providing holistic information about the realities of campaign work. Emily Busch is a candidate for Congress in Michigan’s 10th district who attended the training in 2022, stating, “the situational awareness program was very helpful to me as a first-time candidate. The Guerrilla Politic provides valuable resources to candidates and campaigns…they’re a true partner, as evidenced by their comprehensive offerings and strategies.”
Initially, Adrienne Pickett, Founder and Creative Director at The Guerrilla Politic, planned for last year’s session to be a one-time event. However, she’s observed how safety has become top-of-mind for candidates, volunteers, and even everyday people over the past year. “It doesn’t matter if you’re knocking doors or at the grocery store—we’ve seen how quickly violence can happen or simple conversations can escalate in today’s world. People are asking for tools to help them be prepared to react if they need to, and we’re happy to step up.”
