Get Yr Rights: Toolkits for Transforming Our Communities
Get Yr Rights: a national Know Your Rights Network made up of organizations working with LGBTQ youth are excited to share out a youth-created campaign toolkit! Policing is a day to day reality faced by LGBTQ youth, especially LGBTQ youth of color in communities across the country. Youth are responding to police violence by organizing their communities and changing law and policy to reduce harm during police interactions. During this session we will launch a toolkit to share out the brilliance, organizing strategies, and campaign tools created by and for LGBTQ youth.
