Intersecting Identities: Confronting Hate Against Queer South Asians

Thursday, June 12th at 5 PM CST

In honor of Pride Month, join us for an essential conversation bridging our Know Your Rights and Unpacking Hate programs. This session will focus on the unique challenges faced by queer South Asians in confronting hate and discrimination, exploring the intersectionality of identity and the compounded effects of racism and homophobia within and outside the South Asian community. This is the fourth session in our Engaged Communities Series, a year-long initiative focused on empowering our communities with knowledge and tools to advocate for their rights.
