Queer Movement Townhall: Building Queer Power
2SLGBTQIA+ rights are under attack and we need to take action. Freedom, human rights, and democracy itself are at stake. To respond to these crises, we need to engage all parts of the queer movement - one community and one conversation, at a time.
That’s why we are bringing the movement together through townhall events across Canada - including one right here in Halifax. This gathering is a wake up call, a rallying point. We’re going to bring joy back to the queer movement — with love, humour, rage and defiance too.
But we can’t do it alone, or in isolation. We need to connect local struggles back into a national movement, to empower grassroots activists and build plans to uphold our rights and reject attacks on our community.
Join two of Canada’s leading trans activists (and trouble-makers) Fae Johnstone (Executive Director of Queer Momentum and movement veteran) and Victoria Bucholtz (Executive Director of TransAction Alberta, drag queen, comic, and professor) alongside local movement leaders you know and love for an afternoon of fiery speeches, discussion, queer joy, and advocacy planning.
Registration online, via Eventbrite.
