Lili, Janielle, and Jamie had a blast leading consent workshops for every class at Vare-Washington School in South Philly, Kindergarten through 8th grade!

For the younger groups we read The Great Big Hug - stories are really helpful to young folks when learning new concepts.

The second photo is of a readaloud practice session on Isy's porch to learn some tips and tricks to make the book as engaging and interactive as possible.

The universe smiled on consent culture and gave us perfect weather for ConsentFest. The sun was shining, the pops were delicious, the dogs were excited, the babies were plentiful, the music was transcendent, the drag was genderful, the dancing was hype, the orgs were impressive, and the community came out!

We are building a consent culture and we will not be stopped!

[id: Slide 1 - A photo of a group of people facing away from the camera in the direction of a musical performance. They are standing outside and there are tents in the background. There is a green border around the photo. Slide 2 - A selfie of three people smiling at the camera while sitting and standing at a table with books. One person is holding a popsicle. Slide 3 - A photo of a dog smiling underneath a table.]
