Join us as we celebrate & honor our LGBTQ2S+ relatives in our lives and communities.
Now more than ever, our LGBTQ2S+ relatives need community to show up for them and advocate for their rights to safety, respect and dignity. We know that our LGBTQ2S+ relatives disproportionately experience high levels of violence, high rates of sexual assault & face unique barriers and challenges when seeking support, help and healing. It has been especially challenging for our trans and non-binary Black, Indigenous and relatives of color to navigate access to life-preserving resources during ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as well as support services, state & national policies, and medical institutions. But there are ways we can show up and come together for our LGBTQ2S+ relatives: Listen. Believe. And support them in all they do. We must take their lead in building solutions from the most impacted. Share your appreciation for them, let them know they are loved and valued for all that they are and celebrate their lives!
This year, CSVANW partners with the Transgender Resource Center of Central New Mexico to amplify our theme and message of Kinship is Togetherness! Kinship is Togetherness is a call to action to connect, show up and be in solidarity with our LGBTQ2S+ relatives during these times of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, institutional racism, homophobia and transphobia, and attacks on trans and non-binary relatives. We ask community to pledge for justice, unharmful support, and visibility for our trans and non-binary relatives.
Together, let’s be good relatives and show up as a community to celebrate and honor our LGBTQ2S+ relatives. Show up to honor their gifts, leadership, visibility and their contributions to our communities. Our LGBTQ2S+ relatives are valuable, sacred, and vital in our communities. By accepting, supporting, honoring, and loving our LGBTQ2S+ relatives, we can empower, strengthen, and validate their voices and their true existence in our communities.
