Rethink Masculinity is a partnership between Collective Action for Safe Spaces (CASS), ReThink, and the DC Rape Crisis Center seeking to address gendered violence by engaging people of various gender and sexual identities who want to build healthier masculine identities. It aims to build a nurturing culture, make connections between gender norms and gendered violence, and create an environment where everyone feels responsible for making our communities safe. Collectively, we are committed to working with community members to build simple language to describe the impact from different messages of masculinities, tools and space for changing behaviors, and relationships for practicing these skills.

We want to hold a 9-week training in the Spring for a diverse group of D.C. metro area residents to grow and challenge each other, and work towards our vision of a thriving community. But we need your help!
