At the Center for Anti-Violence Education, we believe that there are opportunities to build towards communities of care before, during, and after hate violence takes place. When it comes to our friends and families, speaking up against interpersonal violence & harm or oppressive ideologies can be challenging and complex. When sitting across the table from someone, perhaps sharing space, food, or traditions with beloved ones -- how do we intervene? In this workshop, participants co-create strategies of care and safety for themselves and others. participants explore the connections between oppressive ideologies, and how to show up in their institutions and relationships. Participants learn tools and strategies to create systems of support, and intervene when microaggressions occur.

Participants learn:

- The four levels of oppression and positionality

- A holistic safety framework

- Boundary setting

- Calling-in strategies

- Aftercare
