"Safe Slope" Will Walk You Home This Weekend, Ladies and Gays

Safe Slope is up and running this weekend, offering accompaniment home for women, gay men and trans people. It’ll probably be a lot more effective against violence in the neighborhood than police officers telling women not to wear shorts, skirts or dresses. (FOR REAL.) Or also maybe not silently following women at night? To get an escort home after 7 p.m., call 347–709–8852. (That’s 347-SØY-TULB. Or 347-PØW-VULA. Hmm. Not so helpful. Maybe just program it into your phone now?)
