Wednesday Workshop #1
Community Care: What to do Instead of Calling the Police
In this first installation of the Sherae for State Workshops, Sherae and friends will discuss how communities can build community care blocs or pods to learn together how to respond to stressful or scary situations in our communities from the lens of community care.
From encountering someone who is mentally decompensated on the corner, to finding someone you don’t know in your backyard, or overhearing what seems to be a domestic dispute next door, learn how harm can be reduced, and communities empowered and mutually cared for in the first of this workshop series.
Format:
This online workshop will begin with a discussion with Sherae and Friends, followed by an opportunity for question and answer.
Accessibility:
We aim to make this a more accessible space; please contact the organizers to share how we can make this workshop more welcoming and accessible to you!
