Manhattan
Join us as we explore the medical industrial complex as an extension of policing, violence, and surveillance of Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, Two Spirit, and Gender Non Conforming/People of Color communities.
We will look at the impact of these oppressive systems and practices on our individual and collective bodies. We will honor how we have transformed, resisted, and are intervening and interrupting both historical and current stories. We will create, build, & reimagine what we want, desire, & long for for our communities' futures.
This event will be facilitated by Cara Page & Adaku Utah with support and organizing from the 3rd Space Collective at the Audre Lorde Project - a collective of LGBTSTGNCI POC who are dedicated to deepening the integration of healing, wellness, and sustainability in organizing and movement work. We are healers, cultural workers, and organizers. If you too are interested in expanding wellness, access, and sustainability for our community and/or have practices, offerings, and resources you would like to share with our community, join the Collective and contact 3rd Space Coordinator Simone at simone@alp.org!
