📣 "Undocumented, unafraid! Trans, queer, unashamed!" 🎶🏳️🌈 Just this summer, in the midst of Pride Month, trans and undocumented folks won major protections for their communities in the Supreme Court: their movements grounded in people power, love, and resilience. Speaking up and taking action have been a tradition even since Stonewall — so how can LGBTQ teens and their allies continue that spirit to protect their immigrant friends, classmates, and community members? Join Q+ EDU for a panel discussion about immigrant LGBTQ justice, the abolition of detention camps and prisons, and how you can get involved to create a better world that treats everyone with dignity!
