Allyship to Transgender & Nonbinary People (Mythbusting & Talking Points)

Allyship to Transgender & Nonbinary People (in a post-election world)

Welcome to our online event focusing on supporting transgender & nonbinary communities in the wake of recent events. Join us for a workshop on how we can be better allies, especially during these uncertain times. Learn about the challenges trans & nonbinary individuals face and ways to offer meaningful support.

This workshop is appropriate for cisgender allies looking to deepen their connection to allyship and can accommodate new allies and experienced allies alike.

Allyship to Transgender & Nonbinary People (in a post-election world) is a 75-minute workshop to give strategic ways you can be an ally to transgender & nonbinary people and trans & nonbinary youth.

In this session, we'll discuss:

- Current threats against the trans community
- Ways to show up as an ally for trans & nonbinary youth & their families and trans & nonbinary adults
- Q&A

THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR EVERYONE, regardless of identity or prior understanding of the topic. Information provided will help cisgender allies better engage in conversations and help transgender individuals who wish to advocate for their community or themselves.
