Would you call yourself an activist?

Are you out there attending the rallies, signing petitions and fighting for the rights of the queer community? Have you found yourself feeling a little fried as a result of the issues coming up around this postal vote?

I’ve defo been feeling a little bit drained, emotional and at times nearly all queer-ed out. So let’s explore what it means to be an activist for the queer community, what you could do to get involved if you want to be more pro-active in the battle for queer equality. And where we could be channelling our energy as a community once this postal vote shenanigans is finally behind us.

We will be joined by a bunch of young peeps who identity as queer activists. We will be finding what strategies they use to fight for queer equality, whether they think there are other issues we should be tackling aside from marriage equality and how they self care whilst still supporting the community.
