We’ve gotten so many requests, we’ve brought back and expanded the Gender Justice and Trans Inclusion Teach-In series. This spring, join hundreds of other advocates how to be a confident ally to transgender people. This series will cover new threats to transgender lives as well as how to welcome transgender and gender nonconforming people into your congregation. Past participants report our trainings helped them bring their faith into conversations about transgender identities and empowered them to take action.
