At a time when transgender rights are under sustained attack, many people are asking how to stay rooted, connected, and faithful to our values. This gathering offers a space to do that together. The day will include a keynote from a gender-nonconforming leader (below), workshops created by and for the trans community, and learning spaces for cisgender people who want to deepen their allyship. Spaces like this don’t happen by accident – they happen because people choose to show up.

On April 18, 2026, USG will be offering this conference which will include live streamed workshops and spaces for connection. Lunch and childcare will be provided. Masking encouraged. Email BBCBB@usguu.org with questions or for more information or if you’d like to register to attend the event online.

Please RSVP if you are interested in coming to USG in person.
