HARM REDUCTION FOR VENUES: DO IT NOW
Within radical communities, we prioritize the creation of safe spaces as those free of homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism, ableism... but rarely do we address the basic dangers we experience due to the physical conditions of the spaces we inhabit.
In response to the ghostship fire in Oakland, a collaborative and evolving draft of suggestions for fast, free and low-cost harm reduction strategies that DIY venues can implement easily was initiated by S.Surface. Based on the crowd sourced doc, this edited pocket sized edition is intended to make building safety accessible.
