  • Our next Consent Week activity is today at 2:30! Bring a partner if you want and come to the cafeteria lawn for an interactive Rape Aggression Defense training, derived from martial arts skills and led by Maya Sessions.

    Tomorrow (Friday 5/28), we will have 2 virtual guest speakers afterschool from Consent Beyond Yes, an organization dedicated to talking about consent as more than just asking "is this okay?" Their presentation will address how to flirt, how to recognize when it’s invited, and how to ask for what you want without being "creepy," as well as how to deal with consent violations, both as the person having consent violated and the person who violated the boundary. More info to come about where and when to tune in!
