John,
In recognition of LGBTQ+ Pride Month, the Women’s and Fair Practices Departments will be bringing the voices of our LGBTQ+ AFGE members to the forefront by hosting “The Many Faces of Pride: Being LGBTQ in the Workplace,” a virtual panel on Facebook Live. This panel will highlight the realities of some of our LGBTQ+ members and leaders. The panelists will bring attention to the gaps that still exist in AFGE and our union’s workplace advocacy.
Please join us on TONIGHT, June 16, 2020 at 8:00 p.m. EST on the AFGE Facebook page for this live event. Click here to view the live event TONIGHT!
Even today, the LGBTQ+ community still faces layers of discrimination throughout our society. From being barred from service at certain private businesses, to being denied housing due to their sexual orientation and gender identity-- this community is denied equal access and opportunity daily. We need to keep fighting for our LGBTQ+ partners and counter oppressive and out of touch narratives that stigmatize the community.
What: FB Live Virtual Panel: "The Many Faces of Pride: Being LGBTQ in the Workplace"
When: TONIGHT, June 16, 2020 | 8:00 p.m ET
Where: Facebook Live
This virtual panel will allow you to put a name, face, and story to the realities faced by those in the LGBTQ+ community and will provide you with direct insight on how we can be better advocates in uplifting those who are LGBTQ+.
We hope to (virtually) see you TONIGHT!
In Solidarity,
Jeremy Lannan
National Vice President for Women and Fair Practices
