Toby Fraser (he/him) is the Manager for Community Education at Lutheran Settlement House (LSH). He comes to this work through non-violent direct action based activism, and has been a part of the movement to end gender based violence since losing a friend in 2008. His work has ranged from doing workshops with youth about the roots of violence and social change to training professionals on concrete skills such as screening, safety planning and supporting survivors to direct action trainings in mostly the environmental movement. Toby identifies as a cis-gendered white man.
From trainings on bystander intervention and apology labs to upcoming sessions focused on cooking and books, this month's events equip men and masculine-identified individuals to reduce harm and build community.
