Acts of Resistance is a program for 2SLGBTQIA+ community members to heighten their sense of self-trust and awareness of their environment. This workshop offers participants an opportunity to discuss personal safety issues and to practice easy to learn, easy to remember self-defense techniques. The workshop reinforces the positive aspects of the way participants confront the threat of fear and violence in their lives.
