SATURDAY APRIL 18th
9am-4:30pm at the Unitarian Society of Germantown
The UUA brings you the annual Building Beloved Community Beyond the Binary Conference! A conference where transgender people, allies, advocates, and accomplices can bravely (and with more safety than usual) explore, learn and grow, bear witness, and be witnessed.
USG will be streaming the workshops and keynote address. Come for one or more workshops or the whole day. Lunch and childcare will be provided. You will be greeted and checked in at the door; inside the building will be several workshop spaces, social spaces with resources and food, and a separate quiet space. Emotional support will be available if needed. Learn more here.
