Know Your Rights Session #1 with Community Legal Aid

  • Forbes Library Northampton, MA (map)

Translate Gender is excited to be partnering with the Fair Housing Project of Community Legal Aid to offer two workshop sessions for our community to learn about their legal rights under the Fair Housing Act and Massachusetts state anti-discrimination laws. We hope you can attend one of these workshops and help us spread the word to student leaders, families, and community members across our region!

These workshops will be facilitated by trans and gender expansive team members from both Community Legal Aid and Translate Gender. We always seek to center our community in these spaces and who is helping lead these conversations. We hope you're as excited as we are for these sessions.

For everyone's health and wellness, if you are not feeling well, please stay home. If you are COVID cautious, we invite you to wear a mask and/or do what you need to participate in our gathering.
