We love you and couldn't do this work without you!
Join us next month, March 13 from 6-9pm for our annual Luvin' You FIERCE-ly party and community awards to celebrate our awesome supporters, donors, comrades, alumni and fabulous members! 2013 was an AMAZING year for FIERCE thanks to you and we want to take a moment to party together and let you know wha's ahead!
FIERCE is excited to release our new national report, Moving Up, Fighting Back: Creating a path to LGBTQ youth liberation. The report, which grows out of a national survey and mapping project, offers an analysis of the current national landscape of issues impacting LGBTQ youth organizing, spotlights amazing work being led by LGBTQ youth of color, and identifies potential political opportunities to strengthen the collective power of LGBTQ youth across the country.
Check out a video recording of our Meet Me at the Crossroads panel from Creating Change where we officially released our report, in conjunction with Southerners on New Ground's (SONG) release of Small Town Cross Roads Report! The panel included speakers from SONG, FIERCE and the Astraea Foundation.
FIERCE offers Know Your Rights workshops for LGBTQ Youth of Color who are in GSAs, groups, organizations and shelters. The Know Your Rights trainings are youth-led, free and a fun way for LGBTQ Youth of Color to empower ourselves by educating each other on our rights in these times of hyper policing in New York City.
Contact Lead Organizer john [at] fiercenyc [dot] org (John Blasco) to schedule a workshop today!
