Your Power: Advocacy Workshop:
A conversation about Community Courage and the stories that move us forward.

Monday, October 13th
4:00 to 6:00 PM PT

Location: CSN North Las Vegas Campus Student Union U126

Since the earliest days of the LGBTQ+ movement, sharing our personal stories has been an essential tool for shaping the way people think and feel about us. Stories about our lives dare people to see us for who we are: friends, neighbors, and family members. Sharing our stories creates a ripple effect, changing how people treat us at school, in workplaces, in Congress and the Courts.

Join the Human Rights Campaign Las Vegas Steering Committee and CSN in North Las Vegas for “Your Story is Your Power: Advocacy Workshop” to build advocacy skills through the power of your story. This first-of-its-kind curriculum will cover why telling our stories is more important now than ever, what stories we need to tell, and how to tell them in a way that’s most impactful for our progress towards full equality for LGBTQ+ people. All are welcome! Space is limited, so RSVP

We invite you to be a part of the National Storytelling Campaign. Your voice matters!
