BQIC presents “Third Annual March for Black Trans Life and Liberation”

Black trans lives have always been under attack, but every year we are forced to mourn more of our loved ones from state and interpersonal violence.

We invite all of central Ohio to come and move in solidarity for our Black trans community.

Sunday, November 28, 1:30pm, The Magical Druid, 3165 N. High St.

Strategy is the art of working with what you have to get what you want. When we are clear about our strategy the work of building our organizations becomes easier. It is easier to recruit leaders, and to develop an effective and democratic membership structure. It is easier to raise money and to tell your story.
