Legal Aid Support During a Pandemic-Era Strike: Authorize On-Site Help Immediately, or Decide via Stoppable Safety, Necessity, and Accountability Gates First?

Minerva judgment

First establish a very short, stoppable gate covering task necessity, staff safety, and accountability, confirming protections and voluntariness before deciding on on-site or remote support; this path preserves reversibility and avoids irreversible staff exposure risk while protections remain unclear.

Human-controlled next action

Authorize the legal and staff-safety teams to jointly confirm protection conditions, staff voluntariness, and support mode within hours, then report back to the chair for final decision.

What would reverse the recommendation

If remote support is clearly confirmed unable to cover farmworkers' urgent legal needs and delay has already caused substantial harm to farmworkers' rights, immediately reverse to on-site support and bypass remaining gates.
