LGBTQ Education & Training: Our program that offers workshops, talks, educational materials, and public narrative/story telling about LGBTQ people and our daily lives. This is perhaps our most important work in working to fight back against misinformation and propaganda that tires to cast LGBTQ people as dangerous to society at large. We educate people on terminology, statistics, and history while also sharing current day stories about LGBTQ people that everyone can relate to. Our goal with this program is to increase the general cultural literacy in Arizona about LGBTQ people and to share the stories of our lives that are very similar to the heterosexual and cisgender community. During 2023 we used podcasts and social media to tell these stories and offer in person training throughout Arizona. 13160 Civic Education: Our programs in civic education strive to increase the civic literacy, engagement, and efficacy of LGBTQ and allied Arizonans.
