This is our 3rd event for the 2020-2021 LGBTQ+ Affirming Healthcare Series and our Pride Keynote Event. In this session, our powerhouse panel (to be announced) will make calls to action to the healthcare field for immediate changes in healthcare delivery to provide better services for Black Trans Lives to move toward health equity in the face of staggering violence and health disparities due to systemic racism and transphobia.

Host a Pride Month Program

This can be a lecture, dialogue, film, etc., that is specific to your unit/department or has broader reach for the UofL campus community (due to the Governor’s COVID-19 guidelines regarding group gatherings, we encourage Pride Month programming to take place virtually this year). The LGBT Center will aid in promotion and will include your program in Pride Month marketing efforts. If you have questions or would like to brainstorm potential events, respond to this email, and we can discuss further.
