Men Listening in San Francisco Saturday, Oct 6 in Response to Kavanaugh Hearings to Support WomenSidewalk Talk's male volunteers will be out listening in Dolores Park in San Francisco on Saturday, October 6 from 2pm to 4pm in solidarity with women and survivors.
By: Sidewalk Talk Traci Ruble, Psychotherapist and Sidewalk Talk Director/Founder said, "Have you ever felt scared or lonely and had someone listen to you with open-heartedness? Paula Williams, Shame Booth Founder and CEO of Mortar Foundation said, "The good men I know aren't sure what to do. As 'fixers' they are hesitant about how to show up. What I need and have needed to help heal my trauma is for the men in my life to just listen, with an open heart and some empathy. Sidewalk Talk is creating a space where men can get some on-the-spot listening training and show up." Sidewalk Talk is a 100% volunteer nonprofit with city chapters lead by licensed therapists, mental health workers, or certified coaches. Their annual operating budget is less than $5k per year.
