The Audre Lorde Project aims to build both individual and collective power to better challenge the multiple oppressions faced by LGBTSTGNC People of Color communities. This training program therefore allows for skills building, analysis of oppression, power & current issues, and offers opportunities for strategizing and additional investments in community organizing.
“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” — Audre Lorde
The We Got Mad Skills: Community Skillshare is a space where we can claim: WE ARE THE EXPERTS. It’s an action-orientated, free space where LGBTSTGNCSGL People of Color can connect with our communities through the exchange of skills and foster community-based solutions. We are empowering ourselves by taking the initiative to educate ourselves and learn from the vast array of skills that we hold in our communities.
Co-sponsored with: African Ancestral Lesbians United For Social Change (AALUSC); Latinos/as Unidas de New York (LUNY)
** We appreciate the support and solidarity of all our allies, and respecfully request that We Got Mad Skills be a People of Color space.
