Creating a world free of hate violence for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two Spirit, Trans, and Gender Non Conforming people of color means building safety with neighbors, lovers, friends... but where do you start?
Safety Starts at Home: Building Safety Strategies With the People You Love
Tuesday, January 10th 7pm-9pm
Creating a world free of hate violence for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two Spirit, Trans, and Gender Non Conforming people of color means building safety with neighbors, lovers, friends... but where do you start? Come practice concrete ways to start building safety strategies with those you love, try things out, be creative, troubleshoot, and find out more about how to challenge hate violence in your neighborhood.
Please join the SOS collective as we work with allies and friends to fight violence in our communities.
Volunteer night is a great chance for new folks to come out and learn about the various ways you can get involved as well as for current members to plug in. Help plan events, learn more about anti-violence work, contribute your passion and time to building a campaign for community safety, and participate in mini-trainings.
Volunteer night is an opportunity to learn more about our work while also putting our plans into action.
* Open to all LGBTSTGNC POC and Allies.
* Snacks and metro cards will be provided.
