I'm excited to invite you to join me on Tuesday, June 29th from 6-7 PM ET for the next installment in our Virtual Uptown Chats, a special event in celebration of Pride Month.

Hair straighteners, skin lighteners, and makeup products can be packed with harmful chemicals that can leave negative impacts on the body. Many of these toxic products are disproportionately aimed at women and femme identified people of color. We will be hosting a panel of researchers, advocates and queer drag performers to discuss the toxic chemicals found in beauty and other personal care products and their impact on the queer community.

For more details about the event, please see below or register online. You will be able to submit a question for the panelists upon registration or ask live during the event.

• An exciting and fun opportunity to directly engage with the guest panelists
• Discuss policy and intiatives that impact Northern Manhattan communities
• Learn about WE ACT's upcoming initiatives
• Participate in a live virtual Q&A session
