SEPTEMBER 22 DISCUSSION: T4T COMMUNITY SUPPORT
Come join us for resource sharing and a discussion on how we can build a safe and sustainable environment for trans folk! We will talk about the importance of mutual aid within community support and what that looks like. Connect with other trans/gender non-conforming folks and ask questions surrounding community building. Will be sharing a collection of free resources for trans people in the Milwaukee area. Our communities need an abundance of resources and effective support for systemic change and immediate care, so let’s imagine and work towards what that can look like together!
