EVERY THURSDAY
Live on TLC’s Facebook Page
ASL, Spanish, and CART Live Captioning Provided
The coronavirus pandemic and our government’s failed response has drastically reshaped our lives for the immediate future, and likely for many months and years to come. But even prior to this pandemic, our governments and institutions kept many of our trans communities in a permanent state of crisis, which is now exacerbated by the coronavirus.
While governments falter, our collective imagination shines. Trans leaders have always been here. We know how to take care of another amid isolation and struggle. We know how to protect one another. We have vast collective wisdom to draw from, wisdom that our elders and ancestors have built for centuries.
Our communities are only as strong as the circles of care we create. Let’s use this opportunity to provide a space of solace, political education, and resource sharing. RSVP for our virtual community gatherings here. The schedule is below, and each week we’ll go in depth into the ways this crisis impacts the many intersecting experiences of our communities. We will be updating it with specific topics soon! We’ll be providing Spanish and ASL interpretation. The video will be recorded and embedded in this post afterwards for those who miss the call.
