Resources

Founded in June 2020, this is an online directory of local resources available as alternatives to contacting law enforcement.

In some cities, 211 will dispatch community response teams instead of law enforcement. Ask in advance whether they dispatch the police if this is a concern.

Blackline: Peer support and counseling prioritizing BIPOC, with an LGBTQ+ Black Femme Lens. "We do not trace or send any type of intervention under any circumstances without consent."

Trans Lifeline: Trans peer support for Trans community that's been "divested from police since day one. Run by and for Trans people."

Wildflower Alliance Peer Support Line: Warmline answered by trained peer supporters. "We do not trace or send any type of intervention under any circumstances without consent."

StrongHearts: 24/7 confidential and anonymous culturally-appropriate domestic and sexual violence helpline for Indigenous Americans. "Advocates do not request or record the contact's identification and/or address."

Thrive Lifeline: Trans-led and operated, focusing on people with intersecting marginalized identities. Does not "engage in non-consensual active rescue."

Psychedelic Support Line (Fireside Project): 11am-11 p.m. PT. Support during and after psychedelic experiences. "Always confidential."
