Join ANR Pride Month activities in June
“First, we will send out weekly educational emails to highlight the history of the LGBTQ+ community in the US, including a deeper dive into the various identities included in the LGBTQ+ umbrella,” said event co-organizer Rebecca Ozeran, UCCE livestock and natural resources advisor for Fresno and Madera counties. “Second, we are hosting three interactive Zoom sessions with time for discussion after each one.”
The first Zoom session will be introductory, including why it's important for us all to learn more about the community. The second session will include a documentary on Stonewall and the history of Pride Month.
The third session, June 30, will include a special guest facilitator Sam Gottlieb leading a book discussion of “A Year Without a Name” by Cyrus Grace Dunham. Participants who register by June 1 may request an e-copy of the book.
Gottlieb (he/they) is director of people & culture at RISE, a nonprofit organization that serves both victims of intimate partner violence and sexual assault/abuse as well as their loved ones. Gottlieb provides queer education workshops and talks to a variety of audiences covering a broad range of topics. They believe in the power of conversation and strive to embolden folks to enter into meaningful discussions.
When:
Zoom sessions on Wednesdays, June 9, 16 and 30 from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., with the option to continue discussions until noon. Weekly emails will go out every Tuesday in June, beginning on Tuesday, June 1.
