Chocolate cookies, mint tea, and a stranger’s smile when you make eye contact reaching for the last strawberry muffin. Hallways of people, some with pressed pants and a briefcase, some with jeans and a t-shirt. A compliment in the bathroom line. A short fumble with AV technology, and multiple audience members in simple cushioned chairs ready to help: “Try plugging it in there.” Then, PowerPoints pull up, and they range from a navy blue sans serif font to slides with dragon illustrations. There are people Zooming in,

Where do we go from here? – this was the Society for Community Research and Action’s (SCRA) 2023 conference theme. At a gathering brimming with explorations of process and practice, one symposium was dedicated to “Community engagement in Rape Prevention and Education Program (RPE) practice and evaluation.” Here, I share a few highlights from the panel, which don’t capture the full presentations but, rather, seek to share some celebration and curiosity in this work. I hope these notes could help you think about community

Last October, Aubrey Taylor and his friend were at a New York deli grabbing something to eat, when a woman came over and began to grope him.
Most victims of sexual assault don’t report their experience for of a number of reasons Aubrey recorded the incident on his cell phone and reported it to the NYPD. Considering the NYPD’s ‘The Call is Yours’ campaign to encourage survivors of crime to report incidents to them, which they believe can help bring the perpetrator to justice and prevent future assaults, they failed to take appropriate action.
The fact that Aubrey Taylor, a man with dwarfism,

The Deaf community exists subtly. They don’t look or act differently, but they do communicate with a completely different language than most hearing Americans are used to. American Sign Language (ASL) was developed in the 1800’s and has made many strides in allowing the Deaf to communicate. It is recognized as a complete language used by hundreds of thousands of people in the United States. This language has opened so many doors for the Deaf, but too many remain closed because of the lack of accessibility in the hearing world.
It is estimated that about 50% of the Deaf community has

Intro: No matter one’s country, ethnicity, race, class, gender identity, ability, health, socio-economic status, religion, or education level, domestic violence affects everyone. Yet, as we explore the issue of activists living in the midst of the very injustices they work against, it’s important to remember the cultural components that surround the work. Domestic violence doesn’t just happen to individuals…it occurs across and within communities. When children are raised in their community, their likelihood of seeing, hearing about, or experiencing domestic violence increases given the
