"Let Them Play": Disrupting a New Era of Political Violence to Support LGBTQ+ Youth Survivors
Wednesday, August 12, 2026
1:00-2:30 pm
Join Nick Ross and Reiko Ramos of Diverse & Resilient for this year’s session of the LGBTQ webinar series. Participants will learn about the current era of anti-LGBTQ+ political violence and its compounding real world impacts on LGBTQ+ youth survivors in Wisconsin.
Advocates and programs can disrupt this political violence to appropriately serve LGBTQ+ youth survivors – the dynamics of power and control used to silence the LGBTQ+ community are replicated in their homes and lives. We will also practice hope inspired by the vibrant leadership, advocacy, and activism of Wisconsin's LGBTQ+ youth.
