The Liberated BODY
Translator Training Project.
Are you fluent in English and other languages?
Join the Audre Lorde Project in our new Translator Training Project.
Application Deadline: CLOSED, Sign up today for our June Training
The Translator Training Project seeks to provide opportunities for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two Spirit, Trans and Gender Non-Conforming immigrants of color who are already informal community translators to:
- gain greater skills in interpretation/translation
- learn resources and strategies to use translation to generate income
- better understand how to make our community spaces more accessible
- share knowledge about health, social and community resources
- share resources on translating health, sexuality and gender issues.
Why focus on immigrant communities?
ALP has had a working group on immigrant rights for over ten years, and LGBTST immigrant community members have been an important source of community leadership for decades in New York City. Our goals have been to create spaces for immigrant community members to come together and break the isolation that some of us face, increase access to legal resources and support, and mobilize our participation in the broader immigrant rights movement for full legalization for all people.
“Can we be safe & visible?” Community Dialogue on Caribbean Sexuality and Homophobia
Join us as we talk about the myriad voices and issues for Caribbean people at home and abroad who are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two Spirit, Trans and Gender Non-Conforming (LGBTSTGNC). What is it like to be LGBTSTGNC and Caribbean? How are LGBTSTGNC communities in the region imagined within and outside Caribbean borders? Are sexual minority communities in the Caribbean more vulnerable to violence? What are these communities and others doing to create change? What are the experiences of Caribbean migrants and first & second generation Caribbeans in the United States who identity as LGBTSTGNC? What are some of the politics of language, identification, and visibility?

The Audre Lorde Project
85 South Oxford, Brooklyn, 11217
In conjunction with the Israel Apartheid Week, and facilitated by the
Palestine/Israel Education Project, using a mixture of demonstration and discussion, this workshop will explore ways to raise awareness about
the struggle in Palestine while empowering people in the US to articulate and address our own connections to the issues of colonialism, racism, and militarism.
We will use…
• Palestinian hip hop videos,
• English translation of lyrics,
• digital stories produced by youth in refugee camps,
• discussion questions,
• an interactive historical map role play exercise,
• letters from Israeli youth refusing to serve in the army,
• documentary footage of Palestinian youth discussing prison,
• clips from the documentary film "Slingshot Hip Hop"
This discussion will be focused on supporting Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Two Spirit, Trans and Gender Non-Conforming (LGBTSTGNC) People of Color (POC) in our exploration of this issue. For more info, contact Trishala at or 718.596.0342 x. 12

About Invincible -It is truly rare to find an artist like Invincible. Her spitfire wordplay has gotten her acclaim from Hip Hop fans all across the world, while her active involvement in progressive social change has taken her music beyond entertainment, and towards actualizing the change she wishes to see. Repping Detroit, MI, many are already familiar with her work with Waajeed and the Platinum Pied Pipers, Finale, the all-female ANOMOLIES crew, Black Star, and many others.
