When a problem of discomfort becomes a problem of safety on the CTA, community violence disruption can be a powerful tool. | ✍️ katie_prout
), when the temperature increases, so do rates of violence. And because I’m personally interested in ways we can keep each other safe that go beyond doing nothing , calling the police, or turning to the weird kind of vigilantism that only makes a situation worse. When L stood up and gently moved between Luke and May, I realized I could do that, too.
After that interaction, I kind of had two regrets, which I’ll go on about. I’m nonbinary, but I’m woman presenting, so I’m very aware of how people perceive me and the dangers that surround me just existing in the world. I was just trying to keep an eye out on what’s going on in my surroundings. I had some sort of resources: I took one self-defense class, for example. But even if I didn’t, I was in a better place mentally than May was to be able to respond in that situation, if it escalated further. She was crying. She just kept staring out the window, trying to be as invisible as possible. We were in between stops at that point, so even if you press that call button, he still has to go to the next station [with you].
So we—the Department of Public Health—and CTA have been meeting around what a CARE response on a moving CTA vehicle would look like, primarily on the trains. We’ve been discussing the trainings that the CARE staff needs specifically for rail safety.
