Come join us as we share space to talk about Gender! We'll be talking about the ways standards of gender have been constructed through white supremacy, and used as a tool to harm and control Black, Indigenous and People of Color. We'll explore the ways institutional and cultural practices we uphold push a rigid definition of gender, how we utilize these rigid definitions to our benefit, as tools for our survival, and how we are actively expanding our understanding of gender and expression.

We want to be transparent that this space will be centering Trans and Gender Non-Conforming People of Color in the space but all folks who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two-Spirit, Trans, and Gender Non-Conforming People of Color are welcome to attend.

We're hoping to have folks leave with:
- a grounded, broad understanding of the history of gender.
- how gender intersects with race and class.
- feeling more free, connected to each other, and grounded in embodying political values.

What do you want to organize OUTside the lines? Do you have an organizing project you are looking to build from the inside OUT, and need the skills to do it? We are here to cultivate your skills to build towards a dream project that you have wanted to bring to life.

This Leadership Development Series will support you by increasing your skills and developing your leadership within the realm of community organizing and social change work. This training will help you to better challenge the multiple oppressions faced by LGBTSTGNC People of Color communities. We committed training and building our community members so that we are all recognized as individuals with power who are collectively building movement. We want you to have more tools to build vision and transform our lives!
