We connect communities with tools, training, and advisory support to anticipate rapid response needs and build capacity.
Truly reducing harm and mitigating violence requires frameworks for early action. As a core complement to our Structures for Early Warning project, BDI also facilitates proactive alerts and strategic advising to support in-the-moment response to political violence. Through both our national and state teams, BDI directly connects front-line communities with training, provides verified resources and tools fit for a range of contexts, and advises decision-makers on rapid response needs surfaced directly through our work.
In six high-risk states, BDI State Leads provide even deeper concierge support for early action and response. Learn more >
