The Initiative Collective
The Initiative Collective (sometimes truncated to simply "The Initiative") is a group of organizations located in cities throughout the United States and internationally whose goal is to promote personal safety through neighborhood watch activities, self-defense classes, and other forms of outreach.〔〔
Founded in New York City in 2009 by "Zero," "Tsaf," "Lucid," and Zimmer Barnes, the group's initial goal was to patrol the streets of Greenwich Village to stem a rising tide of anti-gay violence.〔〔〔 The New York Initiative (NYI) members started by taking on superhero-like personae to attract attention when talking to the media (though not on the streets),〔 patrolling on longboards and donning bulletproof vests as part of their activities.〔 They were profiled in the HBO documentary, ''Superheroes''.〔 Although the NYI still retains the pseudonyms and bulletproof vests, they no longer employ gimmicks, seeking to avoid negative press as well as difficulty in de-escalating tense situations.〔〔
Since 2009, local Initiative branches have been formed across the United States, including California,〔〔〔 a separate group focused solely on Los Angeles, Washington,〔 Virginia,〔 Illinois, and the United Kingdom.〔
