Learn how best to mobilize, serve and educate the LGBTQ+ community around the 2020 census. How best to fill it out to be fully represented, and how to best navigate the downfalls of the Census itself. Questions? We will answer them! This training is free! For all advocates, providers, staff, census staff and community leaders.

Each week we host our trans peer support group. Each week is a little different so do check out our website here for information about what you can expect here. Have more questions? Give our office a call at (206) 849 - 7859 or write us at support@ingersollgendercenter.org

Title: Introduction to Legal Allyship for Transgender and Gender Diverse Communities
Date: Thursday, March 26th 11:30am - 1pm
Duration: 90 minutes
Location: Seattle, Washington
Cost: Free!
Credits: 1.5 Ethic CLE credits, pending approval by the Bar

Introduction to Legal Allyship for Transgender and Gender Diverse Communities

Even with progressive anti-discrimination policies in place, transgender people continue to encounter regular barriers when trying to amend their identity documents, accessing housing, and receiving adequate healthcare. In the constant changing climate of election season, protections and policies are continually being updated and challenged, making it even harder for the transgender community to get accurate representation and assistance. Please join Ingersoll staff as we provide an introduction to trans cultural humility concepts, an overview of common legal barriers encountered by our communities, and how attorneys can better represent and support gender diverse clients and co-workers. There will be a Q&A session to conclude the presentation.

This training is open to those in the legal profession who are interested in learning how they can better serve their trans and gender diverse clients.

We know that this situation is stressful. Guidance seems to change day by day and the news is overwhelming right now. Starting this weekend we will be hosting a weekly video call (that you can call in to if you don’t have video call access) to share resources, talk about the impact of physical distancing and generally connect with other transgender and gender diverse people.

Sundays 5-7pm PST - RSVP for link!

Real Talk Support Group for Queer & Trans Black Indigenous People of Color will now be offered virtually. We understand that during this time people are restricted to their homes and not able to attend in group gatherings including support/social groups that benefit them, so U.T.O.P.I.A. Seattle will begin providing this space virtually for the QTBIPOC community. if you are interested in attending, we ask that you register with an email so we can send you the link to join the support group on Tuesday April 14th from 6pm to 8pm. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to our Community Engagement Manager Tepa Vaina @206-653-1941 or by email @ tepa@utopiaseattle.org.

We are going through an extremely stressful situation and for some of us the stress of insecure finances, food, housing, and even just distance from those we love and care about can be a trigger for addictive behaviors, but there is help!

For Zoom. info, please email mattie@ingersollgendercenter.org with what meeting you are trying to attend and they will get back to you with login information!

Normally, we’d have our Trans People of Color Brunch on the 3rd Saturday where we’d get to enjoy each other’s presence with some great food, but this time we will be taking it online! Please join us Saturday, April 18th from 11:30a - 1p to continue making meaningful connections during these isolating times. Enjoy a snack from the pantry or make some food while we chat!

Please RSVP at https://bit.ly/tpocbrunch and we'll be in touch with Zoom. link details! <3

If you do not identify as a trans person of color, we ask that you do not RSVP or attend this event.
