Railroad Street Youth Project's South Berkshire Community Health Coalition, in partnership with Translate Gender presents “Navigating Community Safety” at Berkshire South Regional Community Center on Wednesday, December 3rd from 6:00-8:00 pm.
With an unprecedented number of anti-LGBTQ bills across the county and a political climate that is targeting the safety and autonomy of our communities – especially trans, nonbinary, and gender expansive people – this community conversation and presentation will explore how we can safeguard our LGBTQIA+ loved ones in this uncertain time. Attendees will gain knowledge and skills to add to their toolboxes, so all feel equipped to move forward together. Team members from the trans-led community organization Translate Gender will present on the work they do to support and affirm trans, nonbinary, and gender expansive youth, their families, and the larger community, as well as what each of us can do as individuals to fortify our resources and plug in.
Created in 2006, Translate Gender works to build Western Massachusetts
communities that are more equitable and just for trans and gender creative individuals – especially youth. This work is done together with family members and caregivers, nonprofit partners, and other individuals dedicated to the work of gender justice. Translate Gender brings their expertise and knowledge as well as lived experience to the table to create an interactive and supportive space for our communities to learn and grow together.
