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.
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?
