Thursday, June 11, 2020
7pm-8:30pm CDT
organized & moderated by Ahimsa Timoteo Bodhrán, Amairani Perez Chamu, & José Emmanuel Vega
Gathering together Latinx leaders from the greater Tulsa area, this dialogue series will explore intersectional issues affecting Latinx communities impacted by the COVID-19/coronavirus pandemic. How has the pandemic impacted Indigenous communities, people of color, immigrants, refugees, women, queer/transgender people, people with disabilities, survivors of violence, poor/working class communities, faith communities, youth, and elders? And how are we responding to this situation by finding creative ways to build and sustain our diverse Latinx communities? Join us for a dialogue engaging the past many months, our current situation, and the futures we are shaping together.
