Sneak Peak - On Guard Salon - Safety Blows
Added 2025-07-22 04:55:34 +0000 UTCAfter the last national election and seeing news reports shortly thereafter of a racist demonstration by white nationalists, Brent Heinze became even more worried than he had been and began to fear some horrifically troubling times ahead for the US. Those fears were sadly validated by increases in discrimination and hate crimes affecting people within LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and other communities. Not being one to simply accept a bad situation, Brent decided to do something. He formed Safety Blows, a grassroots nonprofit initiative to empower queer people and other marginalized communities to better protect themselves while also fostering strength and solidarity. In this episode, On Guard interviews Brent Heinze about his organization and safety within our communities.

My whistle is on my key ring, and, as a woman, I learned a long time ago I should carry that key ring in my hand with the keys between my fingers. 2. When we reference Kent State, we should remember to include Jackson State. 3. Graylin, I think they didn't yell at Race because they were too busy laughing! 4. Glitter lurks everywhere! Someone sent me a book wrapped in glittery paper last week, and I'm still cleaning it up.
