[Ste-Em] Beyond Visibility: Femme Day of Action Montreal

[Ste-Émilie Skillshare]

Beyond Visibility: Femme Day of Action in Montreal will be a series of
events for queer folks on a self-identified femme/inine spectrum to come
together in conversation, coalition, and celebration of *all* the parts of
ourselves and our m...any communities. We aim to illuminate the cultural,
political and artistic work of all participating individuals and groups; to
create and hold space to ally with and learn from each other; and discuss
ways to align organizing to ensure that femme communities grow as
generative, intersectional sites of gender justice.
