Journalists who identify as women: Have you ever wanted to learn self-defense? First aid? Digital security techniques? Do you know what to do in a riot? Protest? Kidnapping? Arrest? Now is your chance to learn!

The International Women’s Media Foundation has funding for a Hostile Environments and First Aid Training (HEFAT) in Phoenix on Nov. 13-16. IWMF will cover most of the cost, and the New Mexico Local News Fund has additional funds as well.

Apply now by visiting this link! More information on HEFAT training is available here. And click here for the New Mexico Local News Fund application page.

Deadline for application is Sept. 15. These are skills that could save your life — or someone else’s.
