“A threat is any potential event that could cause harm to ourselves or our work. —Holistic Security guide
Threats are a real and ever-present aspect of the world we navigate. Whether they occur due to our activities, or just from trying to navigate through our days, the feelings that we develop from feeling threatened have a very concrete impact on our lives. The purpose of this presentation is to present exercises that can aid in reducing anxiety surrounding our feelings of threat, and can help you or the org you are a part of create a space for members to share threats, and evaluate them for likelihood, rather than just becoming paranoid by them
We'll be presenting during the mdeia in resistance conference, check the link below for more info:

Description:
Twenty years ago, thousands of young activists filled the streets of downtown Seattle in a massive protest against the World Trade Organization. They stunned business and government elites around the world with their creative tactics and their use of independent media networks to spread their own global justice message to the public, thus circumventing traditional corporate media gatekeepers. This conference will bring early organizers of the Seattle indymedia network, more recent activists from the democracy movements across the MENA region, Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, Standing Rock, and other movements, together with scholars committed to a more inclusive and democratic media system to analyze the lessons of the past 20 years of resistance media and the road ahead.
