Transformative justice hub: the transformative justice hub is centered around supporting survivors who are black, indigenous and/or a person of color(bipoc) and identify as women (trans and cis) and/or lgbtq seeking healing, safety, and accountability. In 2021, cass continues the transfornative justice study group cohort to train practitioners, a needs assessment researching the needs and wants of survivors, and online resource hub.
Workshops and technical assistance: cass offers free community workshops and fee-for service training and technical assistance for organizations that are designed to provide participants with the necessary tools to intervene in instances of interpersonal violence and actively support survivors without the criminal legal system. Our current workshop offerings include bystander intervention, workplace harassment, anti-oppression, and transformative justice. In 2021, cass held workshops ranging from public community workshops to workplace training.
Safe bar collective advocacy: motivated by the impact of patriarchal and state violence in nightlife spaces. Cass created the safe bar collective (SBC) to train the staff and management with the tools they need to cultivate safer environments for their own employees and for their customers. Through these trainings, cass teaches and practices concrete invervention and de-escalation tactics that employees can use when they witness harassement or microasgressions in their establishments.
