Advocacy, Action, Safety - Protect Yourself: Now More Than Ever

Date: May 29, 6-8pm

Location: SOMArts, 934 Brannan St

Cost: Free

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.

We are collaborating with Race Bannon, Brent Heinze, 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 high holidays (Pride, Dore, Folsom and Bearrison).

The LEATHER & LGBTQ Cultural District:

We exist to ensure there is a lively and vibrant home for our community of events, businesses, bars and organizations in SOMA.

Our communities need and deserve safe spaces to gather, shop and play, now more than ever, we intend to keep that alive in San Francisco!

What we do:

Keeping SOMA Kinky and Queer by lobbying city hall to allow bathhouses, installing public art like murals, leather pride flags on light poles, activating community artists and performers, continuing economic development through our Entrepreneur Program, and producing events and walking tours.
