A CLGS Queering the 2024 Vote* Workshop Series

As the nation prepares to head to the polls in November, how do we discuss the important political issues that impact our communities?

In this CLGS Queering the 2024 Vote workshop we will explore the upcoming presidential election, discuss what can and cannot be said in our faith communities, and examine the unique spiritual care needs that LGBTQ+ congregants are facing as the election approaches.

Come join us!

During the current 2024 US election season, how might we, as LGBTQ people, communities, and LGBTQ-allies, be voices – and votes – of positive change for a nation in such desperate need of justice, hope, love, and compassion?
