BDI is a non-partisan research initiative at Princeton University that tracks and mitigates political violence in the United States.
This research center studies political violence in America and creates tools to help communities stay safe. They track threats against local officials, map areas of risk, and build early warning systems. Their research helps reporters, community groups, and officials understand and respond to political violence. They provide data, reports, and analysis that communities can use to protect themselves. The center works with media, officials, and community groups to share information and prevent violence.
This program watches for early signs that violence might happen in communities. They collect information from many sources and share reports with community leaders and organizations. The system helps groups prepare for and respond to threats before they become bigger problems. They create regular reports about risk trends at the national and state level. They also provide special monitoring and support for high-risk states. The goal is to help communities stay safe by getting ahead of dangerous situations.
Free online tools that help communities understand and prepare for political violence risks. The maps show where problems might happen and connect you with local groups working to keep communities safe. You can find organizations that teach conflict resolution, de-escalation, and community safety. The tools include maps of demonstrations, violence data, and groups doing racial healing work. Perfect for community leaders, organizations, and anyone wanting to make their area safer.
Do not wait. The time will never be just right. Start where you stand, and work whatever tools you may have at your command and better tools will be found as you go along.
