Community Solutions to Safety Skillshare

May 21st, 2024 from 6:00PM - 8:00PM

at the Grand Rapids Pride Center (343 Atlas Ave SE)

The police have a long history of targeting 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, especially where they intersect with BIPOC and disabled communities. Join us for a workshop to talk about your rights when interacting with the police. We'll work through scenarios, as well as various options for community safety without police involvement. Presented by the Grand Rapids Institute for Information Democracy and the Grand Rapids Pride Center. Facilitated by Jeff Smith, Ames Carpenter, and Nikita Miner.

Registration is optional, but helpful for the facilitators, especially if you have accessibility needs or burning questions! We encourage you to register so we have an accurate count for food as well.
