What if this post started with a comment on your outfit, or the shape of your body? What if it made a disparaging homophobic comment directed at you? This kind of harassment is a daily experience for a lot of people in the Washington, D.C. area, and Collective Action for Safe Spaces (CASS) is dedicated to empowering them to speak out against it.
Through online activism, public advocacy and education, and community building, we work hard to make the streets of DC safe for everyone.
Tomorrow night, January 21st, local bands Miyazaki, Ra Ra Rasputin, and supergroup Volta Bureau will help us raise awareness and funds for some of our programming at an all-ages benefit concert at St. Stephens run by Positive Force. The bands have spoken out in a series of PSA videos for TVD, and we hope you join them in solidarity tomorrow night!
