UPCOMING EVENTS | PAST EVENTS | ONGOING ACTIONS   ONGOING EVENTS Street Theater around NYC SHP stages street performances regularly around New York City. We go out in groups and perform skits, radical cheers, and solicit audience participation. Write to street_theater@streetharassmentproject.org to get information on upcoming performances and how you can join. Counter Harassment Parties SHP organizes Counter Harassment Parties somewhat regularly during the summer months. Women gather together at a pre-determined location in the city and then break off into smaller groups and wait for the 'cat-calling' from men on the street to begin. Then, depending on which group they are working in, women respond to harassment with "counter-harassment." Help us bust the patriarchy by showing men that there IS a consequence to disrespecting women, and that women WILL confront them in solidarity with other women! For an article about one such Counter Harassment Party read the May 11, 2002, entry on our Past Actions page. For more information and for the dates of the next CHPs, please call 912-713-5743 Workshops The workshop group creates and conducts workshops on street harassment for high school classes and college and community groups.� In our workshops, we seek to raise awareness among women and men about the sexist harassment women experience every day, and to work on what we can do to stop it!� Write to workshops@streetharassmentproject.org if you would like to have us come give a workshop for you. Street Harassment Archives: Story-Collecting SHP is always soliciting stories from women who have experienced street harassment. We believe it is important to document the details of harassment to better understand it and equip us to fight it. If you have a story (big deal or small deal) to send us submit it at webmistress@streetharassmentproject.org. We plan to compile these stories regularly into booklets. If you would like us to send you one, send us an email. Porno Card Distribution We regularly distribute "porno cards" around the city - in subways, phone booths, men's bathrooms - to raise awareness of street harassment. These cards are designed to look like cards used to advertise sex workers (e.g., "call cindi for a good time") but when you turn the card over, there's no number for a good time but statements against harassment of women by men in public places. If you would like to join us on one of our distribution runs, or if you want to order a packed ($1 for a pack of 20) send a message to graphics@streetharassmentproject.org or call us at 212-713-5743. You can also download both sides of the cards and print them out yourself (check the Flyers section). Bike Patrol This is something we are planning to begin soon. We will bike around the city in groups and confront men who harass women on the street.
