Love Life, a Christian anti-abortion nonprofit, will launch its 2026 operational season on Saturday, February 14. This campaign runs from February through November. Love Life runs coordinated operations in North Carolina (its core hub), major Northeast/Midwest metros, West Coast cities, and across the South. Each operation pairs a church‑based assembly point with a nearby target abortion clinic as the focus of weekly activity.

A bi-monthly newsletter to share updates from BDI and our network of trainers and practitioners. Tools for non-violently navigating conflict are essential to a healthy democracy. To increase access to these resources, BDI created the Community Safety and De-Escalation Directory - an interactive platform to connect users with a curated network of community safety, de-escalation, and bystander intervention trainers from all around the country.

Recent anti-ICE walkouts at schools across the country have repeatedly seen violence, contention, the presence of anti-immigrant and pro-ICE actors, and doxing and harassment of students, teachers, and school administrators. BDI assesses that future anti-ICE school walk-outs, especially those highlighted by online actors, are at heightened risk of contention and possible violence. It also includes recommendations for student safety, digital security for educators, and event‑related risk mitigation.

Threats and harassment against local officials decreased from December to January. The latest Threats and Harassment Dataset (THD) update adds 41 new events, including 14 incidents for January. Other or unknown motives largely drove incidents, accounting for nearly two-thirds of all events tracked in January. Events with other motives included targeting due to perceived corruption, hostility between officials, and a legal case. Targeting of judicial officials slightly increased compared to December, accounting for half of all events tracked in January. Several of these incidents were severe in nature, including death threats over unknown or personal legal motives.
