Academy for Racial Justice

On Thursday, October 18th, QLatinx joined The Reformation Project to host the annual Academy for Racial Justice, as part of The Reformation Project's National Conference -- hosted in Orlando in 2018.

As LGBTQ+ and straight people of faith and spiritual grounding, how do we make our movement for LGBTQ+ affirmation and inclusion fully anti-oppressive? What does healing from internalized racism and internalized homophobia look like?

During the day long lesson, QLatinx Executive Director Christopher Cuevas worked with The Reformation Project's Shae Washington and TRP Leadership Development Cohort Graduate Jason Fredlund. In their lessons, the team of Cuevas, Washington, and Fredlund discussed the impacts of systems of inequity on focus communities -- often referred to as marginalized communities. The facilitators begin this journey to allow the collective to take my next steps in dismantling racism and working for equity within the LGBTQ+ movement.
