In light of the recent assaults throughout our neighborhood, the residents of Sunset Park, Greenwood Heights and the South Slope request that Councilwoman Gonzalez and the 72nd Precinct provide free self defense classes for all women in the community.


UPDATE:  Councilmember Gonzalez is now offering Self-defense classes.  You can view the flyer here

CAE will be taking sign ups for the classes at the Take Back the Night Rally on 9/14 meeting at the Prospect Ave "R" station.

Since it is every woman's inherent GOD-given right to be fully protected from rape, the offering of free women's self defense classes for them is imperative.
