We believe we can create the changes we need by using our collective power and voice. The purpose of the conference is to bring together the Queer, Trans and Gender Non-Conforming and Ally community to meet one another and learn from the resilience of the community.
Friday, November 20th is Transgender Day of Remembrance, an annual observance that honors the memory of those whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence. By creating a place where we can share our collective experience, this conference's primary objective is to offer tools to navigate obstacles and provide pathways to individual and community empowerment, as well as create a space where we care for one another as community and allies.
This is a FREE conference for all Milwaukee community members, and those around the Midwest.
