SUMMARY:Lessons from Queer History: A Webinar for Emerging Queer and Trans Advocates
DESCRIPTION:In looking back at queer history\, we can draw lessons from past political organizing to generate a sense of optimism and agency as our communities stare down resurgent hate\, polarization and attacks on human rights.  \n\n\n\nThis webinar is all about sharing movement wisdom with new\, emerging and young activists to provide the next generation with tangible opportunities to contribute to 2SLGBTQIA+ movements and organizing. Join us to rekindle your hope\, learn from movement elders\, and dream together of a more free\, equal and just future for 2SLGBTQIA+ people.
