Are you striking on February 17th?
Do you feel safe? Do you know how to stay safe? Do you know how to help others to be safe? What is self-defense? How do we support each other? Who is at risk? What does empowerment mean for our community?
Let's take some time to talk and organize. The 17th is intended as a time to take meaningful action to support community. The political climate is worsening, and many of us face greater threats than ever.
Common Root is kicking off our Community Safety and Self-Defense program, with the proposed intention:
Directly working to establish the safety and well-being of everyone at risk in our diverse communities.
Together we learn to practically support and protect each other from bigotry and supremacy.
