Safety Blows is a community-driven initiative dedicated to promoting safety, awareness, and empowerment in response to increasing concerns of hate crimes, targeted discrimination, and potential violence in communities most at risk.
Through creating activities including community discussions, educational workshops, public outreach events, social media campaigns, distribution of safety whistles, and building collaborative partnerships with local law enforcement, businesses, and community organizations, we strive to create a safer environment where all people – regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or gender identity – can feel secure and supported.
The motivation to launch the Safety Blows initiative came in response to changes in our current cultural climate where increases in targeted discrimination and hate crimes have been documented and observed across the country affecting individuals within many communities including LGBTQ+, BIPOC, HIV+, aging adults, disabled, faith-based, immigrants, and those struggling with mental illness and addiction.
This grassroots initiative builds on efforts utilized in educational institutions and within the gay community in cities like San Francisco and New York where individuals developed methods to better protect themselves while showing strength and solidarity in the face of adversity, aggression, judgement, and fear.

Throughout the evening, speakers reinforced the idea that collaboration — between law enforcement, health services, and everyday community members — is essential to reducing harm and saving lives ...
Join us for an open and honest conversation about how we can keep our community safer from drug-related harm. This panel brings together local law enforcement and professionals who work in addiction support and harm reduction. Together, they will discuss real-world strategies to prevent overdoses, connect people with the right resources, and build trust between the community and those working to protect it.
This discussion will focus on solutions that save lives. Whether you’re someone personally affected, a concerned community member, or just want to learn more, this is a space for open dialogue, shared knowledge, and finding ways to work together for a safer, healthier community.
Come with your questions, experiences, and ideas. We are all in this together.
