Q: What’s marshaling?
A: Marshaling is a form of resistance. Marshals help build community by supporting organized actions. As marshals we know the scenario for an action because we’ve been involved in the action’s planning, and we work together to support protesters do what they need to do while keeping the action as safe as possible.
- Marshals communicate with demonstrators, and provide a buffer between the group and the police or hecklers.
- Marshals de-escalate conflicts between protestors, counter-protestors, and the police.
If you’re an experienced demonstrator or new to protesting, we encourage you to come and get trained.
Marshaling is a great skill to have and a most excellent way to participate in actions.
The training is being sponsored by Hudson Resistance, Indivisible CD19, Upper Hudson United and Indivisible Chatham NY.
