Help kickstart queer-centered self-defense classes

You are ENOUGH. We've had ENOUGH.

With violence against the LGBTQIA+ community on the rise, we must do everything we can to protect ourselves, our loved ones, our sacred spaces, and the progress our queer ancestors fought so ferociously for. We have all encountered situations where our queerness has been challenged- in some cases, with life-threatening violence. We can avoid horrific outcomes with the true belief that we already possess within us the strength and courage to shut down violence before it even gets starts. We just need a few specific techniques at our disposal. 

ENOUGH is a self-defense training bootcamp created by queer people for queer people. It takes the specific situations our community encounters and provides tools to prevent or reduce harm. The program trains in defense against physical, sexual, armed, and verbal/emotional assault. The framework for these classes is the product of extensive outreach and ongoing research, built upon the collective queer experience in the hopes of finding empowering solutions.

With your help, we will be able to develop a bootcamp to be hosted at queer venues all around the country and an online training program for those who can’t attend in person. This is important work that has the power to shift the cultural narrative that continues to oppress our beautiful community.
