Join us to hear from a panel representing a wide range of
LGBTQIA+ spaces. The panel will discuss the importance of protecting our own wellbeing, how to look out for each other, the
importance of safe spaces, and queer resilience, and how being
our proud and happy selves may be the biggest act of resistance.
