Tonight, join The Queen’s Guard and Rage City Vintage for an unforgettable Community Potluck! Bring a dish to share (and an ingredient list to keep it safe for everyone!) or simply bring yourself.

This is more than a potluck—it’s a chance to connect, share stories, and celebrate the strength and beauty of the trans community. Whether you’re LGBTQIA2S+, an ally, or just here to support, you belong.

All ages welcome—let’s make tonight a celebration of love, visibility, and togetherness!

On Thursday, March 27th, we’ll be celebrating our enduring and inerasable queer and trans family in the Mat-Su Valley. From 4-6pm, we invite you to join our Queer and Trans Justice team to spend time in supportive community. You can expect conversation, resources for queer & trans individuals and families, crafts to take home as a reminder of joy, and, as always, plenty of snacks.

This event is free and open to the community, but pre-registration is requested (click here).

Helen Malley, Skadden Legal Fellow for the ACLU of Alaska, will present on the rights of LGBTQIA2S+ families, including the existing laws that support queer families, proactive measures to take to protect families from Trump Administration actions, and other resources available to families across the state. 

This series is hosted as a webinar to protect the identity of all participants. Pre-registration for this event is required (click here).

This session will be highly actionable, giving you lots of ideas for how to use the skills you already have—be it conversational, organizational, educational, or something else—to build a world worth living in for yourself and those you love.

We'll walk through a "Future Dreaming" exercise, in which we ground ourselves in the world we want to build, to prevent our advocacy from coming from a place of fear, pity, or anger. To close out the session, we'll also talk through a number of critical self-care and community-care strategies for advocates to ensure that we can avoid burnout as much as possible.

All identities, knowledge levels, and skill levels are welcome!
