Support for LGBTQ+ Events
If you’re planning an event for the LGBTQ+ community and are concerned about potential protests or hate-driven disruptions, we’re here to help. Please don’t hesitate to contact us — your safety and peace of mind matter.
What to expect when you reach out
Initial Conversation
We’ll discuss the logistics of your event and offer our input. If, after our conversation, you decide you’d like our presence, we’ll put out a call to our trained volunteer network.
Day-of Support
On the day of your event, our volunteers will arrive prepared to be a peaceful barrier between any protesters and your attendees. We typically position ourselves at entry points and high-traffic areas to provide the most effective support.
Our Approach
We do not engage with protesters or interfere with their right to free speech. However, we will shield your guests using our presence, umbrellas, and body positioning. If needed, we will escort attendees around protest areas to ensure their comfort and safety.
Trained in De-escalation
Our volunteers are trained in various de-escalation techniques and always maintain a calm, peaceful demeanor.
Protecting Your Guests
If protesters begin interacting directly with attendees in an aggressive or unwanted manner, we will step in to respectfully remove your guests from the situation.
