standing with the woman.

STOP BUT WHERE TO GO FROM THERE?

Talk to the woman, try to divert the man from continuing

keeping safe, body inter position...thanks.

Can I walk with you?

Can the women leave the area?

Asking her if that behavior in this instance bothers her?

lets walk together and get coffee

stay with the situation, offer to accompany her

im black, we dont call the cops

I wanted to just quietly stand beside the woman, but I wonder if she will resent this and what her reaction will be…

hold up phone as if recording

to the catcallers, If this was your sister how would you feel?

can just stand as silent witness without intruding on either’s personal space

Rest and debrief are coming!

Decolonial = Analysis and action that preserve the integrity of everyone involved

Sarah: Raising decolonial critiques, will often lead to distancing by others -- even your allies. And to violent response against you/your group.

Can we have a transformed world AND the world we have now?

Yes! Thank you!!!!
