Natasha Thomas-Jackson with NextGen America

Jeronimo Saldana with Mijente

“Moving all of us from a place of hate for our selves and others to a place where we are connected and can show up for one another is my why.”

Micky Alexander of Southerners On New Ground

“Some organizations have this way of talking about queerness like it's an overarching thing...like you have no other identity and like nothing else is important. There are so many layers that get ignored.”

Kiana Jackson

Ashley Land with Community Coalition
