So, the Supreme Court just decided LGBTQIAP2+ folks can't be fired just for being queer – yay! But that doesn't mean every employer in the country is magically queer-friendly. Join us for a conversation about where to find reviews of employers from current and past employees, what to look for on a potential employer's website and social media to distinguish a safer workplace from a corporate rainbow Pride wash, and how to make the most of your local LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce. You'll also learn how to see what the Better Business Bureau has to say about a potential employer, and if there's time, maybe even how to find their political ties and tax returns, and if they've been sued by employees, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or community members. Although there is no equivalent to the Campus Pride Index for employers, there are lots of ways to get the dirt on a company before you decide if you want to spend 40 hours of your week there.

We are all flowing through a period of time that has invited us to connect with ourselves, our environment, and one another. The world before COVID-19 no longer exists, and we are the conjurors of our realities.
