57] – On
Thurs., May 23 from
7 to 9 PM at Red Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse,
1225 Cathedral St., Baltimore 21201, Shawna Potter
presents MAKING SPACES SAFER. Baltimore's Shawna Potter, singer for
the band War On Women, has tackled sexism and harassment in lyrics and on
stage for years. Taking the battle to music venues themselves, she has
trained night clubs and community spaces in how to create
safer environments for marginalized people. Now she’s turned decades of
experience into a clear and concise guide for public spaces of all
sorts—from art galleries to bagel shops to concert halls—that want to shut
down harassers wherever they show up. The steps she outlines are realistic,
practical, and actionable. With the addition of personal stories, case
studies, sample policies, and no-nonsense advice like “How to Flirt
without Being a Creep,” she shows why safer spaces are important, while
making it easier to achieve them. Punk passion, candor, and anger get
the job done! Call (443) 602 7611 or go to https://www.redemmas.org/.
