Thank you to everyone who came out to our Ally Training workshop!

MSUCOM LGBTA Ally Training is a workshop that aims to encourage understanding of sexual orientation and gender identity, intersectionality, and how to be an effective and informed ally.

Through interactive activities and guest speakers, this training will provide a basic framework for understanding the LGBTQ+ community and the unique challenges they often face. We will discuss intersectionality as a lens for studying the social determinants of health, health disparities, and promotion of health equity within the LGBTQ+ community.

Ally training will also include a workshop covering terminology used in the LGBTQ community, as well as guided self-reflection encouraging participants to explore their own biases and understanding with the aim of fostering knowledge and empathy.

We hope to see you.
Monday, March 15 6-8PM

Hi, hope everyone is well amidst these crazy times!

Here is a great opportunity hosted by the LBGT Resource Center during the upcoming break:

The Queering Racial Justice Summit is a vital two (2) day opportunity for student leaders to come together to discuss the deep connections between racial justice and LGBTQA+ justice. This will be open to all students and offer conversations on inclusive leadership, White supremacy, allyship, and more. Throughout the two-days there will be raffles for prizes, keynote speakers, and the opportunity to connect with other students to coalition build and action plan.

Register TODAY: https://forms.gle/h1tqwdAc9bmzoR6n7

This form closes March 5th to give us time to communicate with attendees.

The Queering Racial Justice Summit is Friday, March 12th and Saturday March 13th!

Hope to see you there🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧ and best wishes on this semester! WE got this!
