This three-session course offers an introduction to gender diversity and trans identity and equips you to respond to the current political attack on trans people. Content includes trans 101, vital information to counter rampant anti-trans propaganda, and concrete actions that are needed for congregations and community groups to be spaces of safety and belonging to trans people and our families in this moment. We'll also be discussing what you can do to support trans refugee work in Minnesota. We start each session with a 25- to 35-minute video provided by the Transforming Hearts Collective. It will be followed by a discussion on the content and time for questions, facilitated by Dallas Rising (she/they), MUUSJA's Senior Movement Organizer and First U Member. This is an excellent opportunity to connect with other UUs in MUUSJA's network as well as community groups as we work together to respond to the anti-trans movement in impactful and compassionate ways.

In-person gathering facilitated by Allison Wonchoba (MUUSJA Congregational Connector) and Zelia Gonzales (First U Young Adult Group)
