Intersectional Get-Together

An independent collective within the university environment would like to create a meeting space in which people with different marginalization experiences (racism, sexism, transphobia, rejectionism, etc.) can share just what they have experienced.

 

This can also be a space to try out different strategies to take action, laugh, and enjoy refreshments, giving participants an opportunity to become stronger, listen, provide support, and acknowledge each other's similarities and differences.
