PRAISE FOR JACKSON KATZ
It was an incredible experience for us to have you speak to students and parents…You presented a whole way of living and relating to others they will now have forever in their heads (and hopefully in their hearts)…You presented great truths together with your own testimony, which is a very powerful combination. The kids were very responsive…the parents were so energized and gratified…Your work is making life better for women and liberating men to live as more authentic persons.
The men’s leadership event you headlined last week was hugely successful, and I am still getting great feedback on it. We also received excellent media coverage. In my 35 years, I have never heard a man speak so authentically, passionately and smartly about the issue of gender violence. I am grateful you are in this space with us. I believe this is a pivotal moment for us in our working with men and boys.
In his latest film, Tough Guise 2, Jackson Katz helps us understand the violence men do to themselves and to others, and he does that more compellingly and vividly than has ever been done before.
