Just by being a conscious, thoughtful observer of your local conditions you make important contributions to the early warning/early action system as a Community Monitor. Then, together with your local colleagues and with the support of the TRUST Network, you can take positive action.
How You Can Help
Everyone who joins the Network is a Monitor: we count on you to know what’s actually happening in your community (not just what the media might think is happening). It is valuable to let our crisis mappers know when and where the trouble is brewing or flaring up and to be available for TRUSTworthy fact-checking. It is also valuable to report positive events: peacebuilding actions that worked, from which others can take heart, and learn.
In addition, you can help the TRUST Network thrive by
Spreading the message: message-spreaders bring information to their community to help counter dis- or misinformation and promote peace. It helps if you are or have connections to a media person or community leaders.
Responding to potential conflicts: if you have skills as a mediator, negotiator, or facilitator, you can help soothe tensions before they escalate to violence. Responders may be directly involved or have connections to help convene people who can promote peace.
A powerful way to help your community is to connect with others who also want to contribute. The TRUST Network will help you find those people.
