Today's political climate is challenging for so many LGBTQ+ individuals. Queer people who have traveled to countries where they hoped to find safety from the threats of their homelands have instead found themselves in battles to maintain their legal statuses, defending their physical safety, and struggling with difficulty in finding community and acceptance. TQH is partnering with InquilinXs UnidXs por Justicia to co-create this gathering. We are looking forward to hearing the stories of our immigrant and refugee community members, and we are excited for all of you to join us.
We are seeking Spanish translators for paid work.
