Consent Coalition is an organized effort from the ground level, produced by Unit 2 and Tea Base, to offer a free three-hour introductory training series for the wider community arts ecosystem.
We have a collective responsibility to expand our skill sets and foundational knowledge about how to hold each other through the uncomfortable conversations that are necessary and important for everyone's well being, safety, and growth.
