What Is It?
The Rally Group is a self-funding crisis response initiative present on every page of Liana Banyan. Railroad imagery runs throughout:
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 🚂 Railroad Crossing Signal | Universal icon — help is always visible |
| 🛤️ Switchyard | Coordination hub for responders |
| 🎩 Engineer’s Cap | Trained responders |
| 👔 Conductor | Senior coordinators |
| 🚃 Underground Railroad | Discreet safety network |
How It Works
- Anyone can signal for help
- Responders assess the situation
- Conductors coordinate complex responses
- Resources connect — 988, shelters, legal help, whatever is needed
- Follow-up ensures ongoing support
The “Oops” Code System
Automatic false positives to:
- Keep responders trained
- Normalize the system (reduce stigma)
- Provide camouflage for real signals
- Test system reliability
Example: “oatmilk latte no milk on odd days” = automatic check-in trigger
Crown Leadership
Kimberly A. Williams — Responder General
- Leads the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline
- 5M+ calls, texts, chats in first year
- Built the infrastructure that catches people when they fall
