SUMMARY:LGBTQ+ Responses to Repression
DESCRIPTION:Attacks on LGBTQ+ people are on the rise\, fueled by national hate groups pushing for the freedom to discriminate without consequence. Trans\, non-binary\, and queer communities are facing increasing levels of stigma\, violence\, and systemic barriers. A wave of anti-trans legislation is targeting basic rights\, seeking to block access to safe restrooms\, gender-affirming healthcare\, participation in athletics\, and the ability to update identity documents. It is relentless and constantly shifting. \nWhile this may seem like a new kind of discrimination\, the truth is that we have been here before. We are not starting from scratch\, and we are not going anywhere. We have a history of resistance. \nIn this one-hour interactive session\, we’ll explore what we can learn from LGBTQ+ history to better support our communities today. This session is for anyone committed to protecting and uplifting LGBTQ+ people\, and to creating fair\, inclusive\, and welcoming spaces. Join us to hear how we’re responding to current challenges\, and to exchange ideas and strategies with others doing this work. \nThis session will: \n\nExpand your understanding of the variety of identities\, communities\, experiences\, strengths\, and barriers among the LGBTQ+ community\nExplore the history of anti-LGBTQ+ oppression — and the powerful ways our communities have resisted and survived\nLearn practical tools from both recent and long-standing movements for LGBTQ+ survival\, advocacy\, and resistance\, including AIDS activism\, 20th-century organizing\, current trans-led responses to anti-trans legislation\, and participants’ own lived experiences\nPractice everyday allyship skills and strategies for supporting one another across differences of race\, gender\, immigration experience\, socioeconomic status\, etc.\n\nWhen: Tuesday\, June 24th\, 2025 from 1-2 pm eastern time\nWhere: on Zoom\nCost: Free\, registration required
