Rather than responding to natural disasters like hurricanes, the centers were created to respond to social emergencies such as social injustices, oil spills, gentrification, and more. The team reimagines clear emergency procedures, like the "stop, drop, and roll" fire drill, asking participants to "STOP, look around, gather your people; DROP fear, anxiety, assumptions; let's ROLL, roll out new ideas, roll together...Co-led by activitsts and artists, SERCs aim to bring communities together to envision and build a stronger, more just democracy.
