We are a diverse group of individuals,
LGBTQ+ people as well as
heterosexual / cisgender people,
of many races, ages, and faiths,
who are dedicated to building
empathy and compassion
regarding gender identity and sexual orientation,
particularly within the context of incarceration.
Through education, dialogue, analysis, exercises,
and creative processes,
we strive to increase self-understanding
while decreasing aggression and violence
against LGBTQ+ people in carceral institutions.
This course is by and for incarcerated people,
most of whom are serving very long sentences
but will soon be paroling back into our communities,
which have changed and evolved significantly
during the decades that participants
have been imprisoned.
