We are thrilled to announce that Vanessa Carlisle will be hosting a SWer self-defense workshop on Tuesday September 15th at the Unnamed Place starting at 6:30pm. 🥊
Vanessa’s curriculum is based in jujitsu, honed by survivors of violence, and animated by the principles of harm reduction.
As a co-founder of Hookers Army, a peer-led self defense collective for sex workers, and later the in-house instructor for both Trans Defense Fund LA (a TGI self defense group), and the Sidewalk Project (a harm reduction site in Los Angeles), Vanessa has developed a curriculum that is trauma-supportive, body and disability inclusive, and responsive to clients’ immediate needs for safety.
Says Vanessa, “all self-defense is ultimately community defense.”
This class is FREE and open to all workers and allies! Space is limited so please RSVP here.
