Take a stand against attacks on the LGBTQ+ community!
Join UUJAZ and Drag Story Hour Arizona for our Community Safety and Deescalation Training.
Across the country, UUs have been showing up: at school board meetings to assert children's right to access diverse books and historically accurate curriculum, at the state legislature to protest anti-trans bills, and at drag shows and story hours to support all gender expression. We know that we create safety in community, and we can bring joy and connection to places that carry some risk, including our own congregations. We also know that safety training helps us act from a place of love and courage, not fear, because we are prepared and can fall back on our training, while knowing it's likely to never be put to use. Our partners at Drag Story Hour need us to come create welcoming and safe spaces at their events, and we need to know how to keep our congregations calm, alert, prepared and focused so we continue to live our values out loud: let's get trained together!
Our training is led by "Safety Dave" of Empowered Safety Concepts, Rev. Brigitta of the SURJ congregational safety team, Janine and Casey from Unitarian Universalist Justice Arizona Network (UUJAZ) and partners at Drag Story Hour Arizona.
Saturday, July 8th | 8:30am - 5pm | Tucson area
Light breakfast and lunch will be provided.
Please RSVP by July 3rd.
