Build Trans Justice & Safety: A Webinar for Unitarian Universalists
The video below is a composite recording of two webinars held in fall 2024 to equip Unitarian Universalists to understand the current politically motivated attacks on transgender people, gain tools to advocate for trans rights, and ensure that their congregations are welcoming and safe spaces for trans/nonbinary people and our families in this moment.
A key accompanying resource to this training is the shared document UU Actions & Resources to Support Trans Justice & Safety. Visit this document for a list of actions that UU congregations have taken or are taking (and add your own!) and several themed lists of resources to complement the training. Everything shared in the chat during the webinars can be found in this document.
