The Winnipeg Blue Bombers want YOU to be more than a bystander. Join us at a community event and student summit to hear from Jackson Katz, Ph.D., educator, author, filmmaker who is internationally renowned for his pioneering activism on issues of gender, race and violence, and how to engage men & boys as allies in ending violence against women.
