We are not powerless in the face of rising hate, harassment and violence. If we take the time to learn effective de-escalation and intervention skills, we CAN keep each other safe.

Give me 1 hour of your time and I'll teach you how. It's free and open to anyone aged 12+ ✊

He stood in front of the world at the UN today, and every other word out of his mouth was a lie. I’ll say it again, we’ve not been here before. An American President who lies as he breathes. It’s a terrible place to be. Shame on the media & everyone who’s normalized his lying and/or doesn’t care.

When Tr*mp mistreats a journalist at a press conference, all the other journalists should just get up and leave.
And they should not need to be told this.
