G.I.F.T.S ANYTIME SESSIONS

The same Get in Formation Training Series you know and love, but now available as asynchronous recorded courses on Circle. The G.I.F.T.S Anytime course is available throughout the year while live options will be offered on a quarterly basis! G.I.F.T.S. Anytime sessions are recorded trainings that participants can complete at their own pace. Recordings expire two months after signing up.

ABOUT THE TRAINING SERIES
The training series is a chance for organizations to develop and deepen their safety and security infrastructure. At each level of the training series, organizations learn concrete strategies for identifying and addressing potential risks and developing safety structures that are scaled to the organization's unique capacity, adaptive to changing conditions, and trauma-informed. The Training Series is successive so each training is meant to build off of the last. Participants should complete 101 prior to viewing 201; complete 101 & 201 prior to viewing 301.

Vision Change Win's Community Safety Programming is rooted in our decades-long legacy and grounded in the following Community Safety Values:

BIPOC legacy: We believe that Black, Indigenous, People of Color have been creating safety for ourselves for decades. Some of the practices in toolkit are over 30 years old- passed down through oral tradition from Black, Indigenous people of color.

Rooted in abolitionist values and movements with histories resisting state violence: We see building power as an abolitionist strategy and people build power through electoral work, through policy work, and through community work that's outside the state. We know the US is embedded with oppressive institutions and that we can agree that we need to build the power of oppressed communities to self govern outside of oppressive institutions. We support progressive movement groups who do not believe in abolition, but ask that all of our community safety skills in our trainings are practices outside of the state (any form of law enforcement including local police, FBI, Homeland security, ICE, etc)

Disability Justice Informed: We believe this work is not about embodying or replicating the state, this practice challenges misogynistic performances of safety. We do not exclude disabled community members or group leaders from our safety plans or safety teams. We reject the ableist myth that security work should be held by only the able bodied. We make security accessible, for all bodies, and adaptive to changing conditions.

Women and Femme leadership: We lift up the leadership, expertise, and specialized skills that women and femmes bring to safety work. We reject sexist, misogynistic, and transphobic practices and behaviors within our safety teams and practices. Those who experience gender based violence are experts in addressing it, we learn from the brilliance of these experts to address and intervene in gender based violence and all forms of harm.

No shortcuts to on the ground experience: We believe that community safety is deep work which takes time to learn, and that practice is the only way to gain and improve community safety skills. We believe in rigorous training and that community safety trainers should not only be familiar with community safety curriculum but also be able to answer tough community safety questions based on lived experiences.
