Advocacy, Action, Safety

Join us for a multi-part discussion on the actions you can take now for your personal safety, advocating for your community and overdose prevention.

Thursday, May 29, 6-8 PM at
SOMArts, 934 Brannan Street

We are collaborating with Race Bannon, Brent Heinze of Safety Blows, The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and Ms. SF Leather Madam Folly to address issues that have recently become critical to our communities in these uncertain times. Now is a time that we need to band together to protect ourselves and each other.

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence will discuss their Safety First, Sexy Second campaign to add a layer of personal safety to the wonderful night life we live.

Race Bannon and Brent Heinze will facilitate a discussion on how to best advocate for your community, meaningful actions you can take to move your community’s interest forward and how we can maintain our own safety. And many more themes of uncertainty in today’s time.

Ms. SF Leather 2025, Madam Folly, will entertain and tantalize you in her rendition of Flagging Narcan, Topping Overdose! In this training, you’ll learn how to respond to an overdose, and how to watch out for the most toxic top of all: Fentanyl.

Please join us for an evening to empower our community, unite us, and encourage discussion about ways we can look out for one another as we move toward our community’s big summer events.
