Hey John,

Growing up, few of us ever receive proper sex education and even fewer learn about consent and healthy relationships. Respect and consent are crucial to our relationships as humans and even more important to our connections as activists. We strive to have a community in which people feel able to take action, that's why we have a Code of Conduct (dxe.io/conduct) that explains how we should treat one another. Kitty Jones will be leading this training, in which you will learn what consent is and how to maintain consent in all relationships. As well as what constitutes unacceptable behavior in DxE, how to report this, and the consequences of such behavior. Come learn about how to maintain healthy relationships at our Online Consent Training taking place on Saturday, July 25th, 1 PM. See the event page for information on how to receive the Zoom link!

If you're interested in getting more involved in this active community, apply to become a chapter member at dxe.io/apply.

Here are the other events we have happening this week (all will be taking place in Pacific Time, unless otherwise noted). Action events are highlighted in blue and community events are highlighted in orange -- both are crucial to our movement!

Wednesday, July 22nd, 6 PM: How to Change the World in One Generation: DxE Intro Workshop - Right now the most vulnerable individuals are being exploited on a massive scale and it will only get worse if we don’t take action now. But can we as average citizens really make a difference to help them? The answer is YES. In Direct Action Everywhere’s workshop, you will learn the history of social movements, the ground-breaking new research that shows the power of ordinary people, and the bold plan to nonviolently abolish the most harmful industry on earth that kills billions of animals every year. After this workshop you will have the tools to begin taking high impact action with thousands around the world to create historic change by saving billions of lives. The Zoom link will be announced on the event page closer to the date.

Saturday, July 25th, 11 AM: Meetup: Stories from the Community - Everyone we meet has their own unique and incredible story and experience. While we are all united for animal liberation, we all have our out backgrounds and stories to share! Our hope with the Stories from the Community Meetups us to give a space for people in the DxE community to share and for us to learn about and appreciate each other! To receive the Zoom call-in link, see instructions in the event page details.
