Thurs. Feb 19th: Interrupting oppressive language/behavior - AARC

Hello people!!!

Thank you to all who made it out last week for a great presentation by Risingtide Cascadia! It was a fun, active, and engaging presentation. This week we are set up for another fantastic event

Allies Against Rape Culture (AARC) will be presenting an interactive workshop on Interrupting oppressive behaviors/language. Skills and techniques for interrupting oppressive comments, jokes, and behaviors will be the focus of this presentation through the use of roleplay.

Have you ever been in a situation where comments or jokes were made that you didn't feel comfortable about, but didn't know what to say??? Or perhaps behaviors that caused uncomfort? Or maybe you yourself have been interrupted and weren't quite sure how to feel about it? We often know that something isn't appropriate or doesn't feel good, but might not know what we can do about it.

Whether this is a completely familiar or absolutely new concept for you, please come to this engaging and fun workshop to gather new tools so that we can confidently speak out to oppressive language and/or behaviors. These are priceless tools to gather that can educate, liberate, and create safe space!!!
