It looks like it's going to rain this Sunday, May 23rd. This means Rise Up For Safety will be held at the Audre Lorde Project.
Have you ever worried about your own safety or your friends and loved ones?
Want to learn concrete tools to prevent and intervene in violence against our community?
Rise up for safety will be a chance for community members to join our training team of people interested in helping to train Safe Spaces for our Safe Neighborhood Campaign. It will also be a chance for people to learn about our new and current safe spaces, learn tools to be Safe OUTside the System, and get involved in the Campaign.
The Safe Neighborhood Campaign seeks to end hate and police violence against LGBTSTSTGNC people of color in Central Brooklyn. The goals of the Safe Neighborhood Campaign are to empower community members to prevent violence before it starts, intervene while violence is happening, and to build stronger relationships between LGBTSTSTGNC (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two-Spirit, Trans, and Gender Non Conforming) people of color, our allies, and the broader community. Eventually we hope to build the relationships and skills between S.O.S. members and safe spaces to hold attackers accountable, to investigate violent incidents, and to provide direct support to community members outside of law enforcement.
