Following the screening, we will hear from a panel of faith leaders and organizers who are working for LGBTQ rights. Moderated by The Very Rev. Kelly Brown Douglas, our panel will reflect on the film, discuss the intersections of black trans storytelling, and the role faith communities can play during this current moment of erasure.

Panelists include:

Lala Holston-Zanell
Trans Justice Campaign Manager at the ACLU

Michael Roberson ’13
Public Health Advocate and LGBTQ Organizer

Van Michael Millhouse
Element of Hope

Samantha Master
Organizer

There will be a reception beginning at 5:30 pm, followed by the screening and panel discussion.

During the planning of this event, we learned that there is a dispute over the concepts, ideas, and archival footage used in this film from the filmmakers of the film Happy Birthday Marsha. Learn more about this here, and if you are interested in supporting Happy Birthday Marsha, please click here to donate.
