Marginalized communities are most vulnerable to acts of discrimination and violence. Most of us will never forget our First Encounters. First Encounter with law enforcement, First Encounter with ICE, First Encounter with racism, First Encounter with sexism, First Encounter with poverty, etc. This is why it's important that we create safe spaces to amplify the stories that often go unheard.

Plus, provide resources to learn about the tools that can help you navigate those encounters live and direct. With that said, be sure to check our First Encounter Conversations on Instagram Live. We hope to raise awareness and provide communities with tools to walk empowered in the instance that they encounter injustice. #knowyourrights #firstencounters #IGTV #InstagramLive #staytuned #reyetsapp #share #like #follow #repost #walkempowered
