Visioning the Next Fifty Years in the Queer & Trans Bronx

Join organizers Gia Love and Adelaide Matthew Dicken for an open community conversation to share resources, vision and dream up the shapes of queer and trans movements in the Bronx over the next 50 years.

Long before the "transgender tipping point" or mainstream state recognition of some LGBTQI identities, trans women of color across New York City supported each other for survival and laid the foundation for our current struggles for gender self-determination grounded in racial and economic justice. To honor the sex workers, trans women of color, and youth who, navigating the streets, started a revolution five decades ago, join us to dream up the shapes of queer and trans movements in the Bronx in the coming half century.
