But We’re On the Same Side…Conflict Resolution for PFLAG Chapters: Recording & Training Toolkit
Safety Tips for PFLAG Chapters: Protecting Our Communities from Direct and Indirect Threats of Violence Training & Toolkit
PFLAG members and supporters have voiced their deep distress regarding the current national climate surrounding LGBTQ+ issues. There has been a noticeable uptick in anti-LGBTQ+ activities, such as protests, political violence, and the distribution of propaganda through flyers. Leaders from the PFLAG network all across the country have observed a rise in harassment and threats directed at their local chapters and LGBTQ+ community events. Consequently, many are seeking advice on strategies to evade, anticipate, and counteract these hostile actions.
Remember: If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
One of our key goals is to help you take the information that you learned in this session and use it to make your chapter stronger and more effective.
