Charlia from Coalition Against Sexual Violence and Dre from FIST! facilitate a consent workshop focused on identifying the impacts of dominant rape culture, followed by an interactive facilitated discussion on building a consensual world.

We put the “Sensual” back in “ConSensual”!

Though this workshop is specifically coming from a gender inclusive, non-heteronormative, anti-oppression lens, the facilitators recognize we all got shit to work on and welcome feedback.

Accessibility:
A trained advocate will be present from CASV for this event. This workshop is 2 hours long, with a break 45 minutes in. The space is wheelchair accessible with a single occupancy, gender neutral restroom in the same hallway. This is not a guaranteed scent free space, but we are encouraging all participants to be mindful and scent-free during this week.

Bad Bitches is a workshop intended to empower women, trans*, and queer people of color. We are here to share our experiences in a real way that honors our survival skills, strengths, weaknesses, and cultural bad-assery while connecting, collaborating, and conversing on our struggles within white dominated, radical, leftist, feminist movements. Bad Bitches seeks to create a movement based on resisting assimilation within leftist culture and mainstream culture. Bad Bitches deconstructs feminism and the lack of intersectionality within the movement. Bad Bitches resists our historical erasure and highlights our history and values our personhood. Bad Bitches rewrites radical collective history, together, to reflect the truth of our existence and resistance. Bad Bitches is a non-academic environment that reaches out to people in real accessible ways. Bad Bitches seeks to push our boundaries and our comfort levels. We don’t use safe space, we use the danger zone, as in it is dangerous to act a fool. We are not here to teach but to facilitate an environment where we can learn from one another, where we do not fear one another but respect one another and our individual bold, tough, and fierce survival skills. This workshop is a round table discussion for women, trans*, and queer people of color with activities aimed at conversation expressing anger, laughter, intuition, and emotion. We will be brainstorming together for future projects, making a manifesto, and making lists on what Bad Bitches is and should be.

We respectfully ask that only women, trans*, and queer people of color attend this workshop/caucus space.

Al Schlong sure is one sexy guy! Born of necessity, forged in the fires of the dirty dirty, radical as street sex, delicious as southern peach melting on the tongue. Al is one drag king not afraid to express his feminine side: cuff links, suspenders and bankers cuffs all make him leak a little pre-cum. Al Schlong is sleazy; he’s not the guy you bring home to momma; rather the one in the morning that made you feel like you’d stepped into a 70’s movie as the judgment-challenged heroine. Check out his Schlong on FB: www.facebook.com/aldirtysouth or Twitter: alschlong

Come together with other survivors to create a space in which we struggle with and celebrate our complex sexualities, in an attempt to become less isolated around, and more comfortable talking about, our sexual desires. We will write in response to exercises designed to tap into different aspects of our sexual selves: memory, fantasy, experience, relationship with the body, and so on. Previous participants have found the group to be transformative, feeling that the work they’ve done has opened up and changed not only their relationship with their erotic selves, but with many other aspects of their lives as well. Open to folks of all writing abilities: whether you write regularly, are an infrequent journaler, or used to write and would like to again, this group is for you!
