Not in Our Town: Georgetown Hate Crimes
Response: Self-Defense Classes

Carter Levin, the student who organized the rally, is also encouraging members of the LGBTQ community and their allies to take self-defense classes in response to these events. Currently, this response is more of a word-of-mouth things and hasn’t spurred much change; however, Levin plants to talk to the President of GUPride (the GLBTQ group on campus), and try to arrange something. Unfortunately, these classes cost money, so they may not see as much attendance as they would if they were free.

I’m a black-belt in Tae-kwon-do and may teach a free class or two about some basic self-defense techniques to help with this effort.
