‘Trans Allyship: Learn, Grow Act’

28 Sep

Okaeri, the Japanese American Citizens League and PFLAG will host “Trans Allyship: Learn, Grow Act” from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. PST on Zoom. The online symposium “grew from the realization that the transgender community, and its Japanese American and API members, are largely invisible and misunderstood both in LGBTQ+ spaces and especially among allies.” It aims to “facilitat(e) a basic understanding of the trans community, and emphasiz(e) touchpoints of Heart, Head, and Home: to connect, educate, and encourage attendees to take action in their own communities. In doing so, we hope to educate and inform allies about the transgender community to help them make better-informed and more inclusive social, community, and civic choices.” It will feature an opening plenary, guest speakers, workshops, and discussion groups exploring areas of advocacy, information, and family support. Registration is free and open to all.” https://jacl.wufoo.com/forms/trans-allyship-learn-grow-act-registration-form.
