We're heading to the National Conference on Student Life in November to help student leaders flip the script: leadership doesn’t just live in the White House or the Capitol — it starts in your city hall, your school board, your community. 👇🏻

Hey, #Seattle!
Empower your community with life-saving de-escalation & bystander intervention training! Join us on Wednesday, August 27th at 6:30 PM to build safer spaces together.

#BystanderIntervention #DeEscalation #Community

Running for office? Don't wait for the filing deadline! Starting your political campaign months early is KEY for strategic planning, fundraising, & deep voter connection. Huge advantages, esp. for non-traditional candidates. #PCEInstitute #EarlyCampaign #PoliticalStrategy

Our founder, Krystal Marx, had a great time presenting on Pride to the City of Redmond this afternoon! The breakout conversations highlighted a few key systems changes the city can make to be more inclusive of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Are you a part of an Indivisible, Community Action, or mutual aid organization?

Now's the time to level up.

Campaign finance impacts who gets a seat at the table. Women & non-traditional candidates often face fundraising hurdles. Let's level the playing field! Read my blog on the challenges & potential solutions: www.pceinstitute.org/blog/2380740... #CampaignFinance #WomenInPolitics #Equity #Democracy

Krystal created the PCE Institute as a way to demolish the gatekeeping of skills and methods in activist spaces, and to inspire neighbors near and far to fight for their communities.

"Getting involved in your community doesn't have to be so hard," she says. "And no one should be making it harder."

Krystal has taught self-defense since 2013 and bystander intervention since 2015, and aims to provide practical skills for everyday life. Their experience as a consultant with #SheShouldRun preparing women for office, and serving on Burien City Council highlighted plenty of barriers to advocacy.

📢 Meet the Founder!

Krystal Marx (she/they) was homeless at eight years old, and she became a playground "bodyguard for hire" in Second Grade so she could reliably eat (their preferred payment? Chocolate pudding.). Over 30 years later, they're still fighting... but now, it's for community.

Let's discuss the importance of equitable access to resources in our community. What are your thoughts? #CommunityEmpowerment #PayToPlayIsDead
