The Anti-Violence Project is hosting a two-part series of free virtual public safety trainings on preventing LGBTQ+ hate violence. The first one, “De-Escalation & Pride Safety Training”, will center around upstander intervention / de-escalation skills and safety planning strategies for Pride events.

Join the Audre Lorde Project  for a community workshop at Brooklyn Community Pride Center where attendees will learn how to respond to harm with compassion; support neighbors in crisis; build safe, caring, and connected communities; and practice powerful tools rooted in Abolitionist, Ancestral, Interdependent, and Transformative (AAIT) values.

Join Communities United for Police Reform, our partners and supporters from across the city on Feb. 8, 12pm at City Hall to launch our new How Many Stops Act campaign! Let's raise our voices to call on City Council to pass this critical legislation that will bring much needed transparency to the vast majority of NYPD interactions with the public and protect the Right To Know Act police accountability laws that hundreds of New Yorkers fought for and won six years ago. Help put an end to abusive and discriminatory policing by showing your support for the How Many Stops Act right on the City Council’s doorstep. See you there!

On Thursday, Feb. 3rd, join CPR member VOCAL-NY for a march and vigil in response to Mayor Eric Adams' carceral and failed policies. While the events of the first month of the year are indeed tragic, we cannot allow the violence against these two officers to justify the continued investment in policies and policing that will destroy our communities. 

Where: Harriet Tubman Memorial. (We will hold the vigil at the Harriet Tubman Memorial and then march to Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. State Building for the speakout).

Travel: 2 ,3, A, B, C, D to 125th Street
