SUMMARY:Gender Justice Language Justice - Trans Inclusion in Spanish-Speaking Organizations and Communities
DESCRIPTION:Trans and nonbinary people have always existed in every community. Organizations working with Spanish-speaking communities face specific hurdles to doing their work in trans-inclusive ways. So much of trans inclusive practices is about the words we use and simply translating them doesn’t do it. Different Spanish-speaking communities have different ways of naming and relating to trans and non-binary identities\, and finding language that is both accessible and respectful to all can be challenging. Additionally\, in some communities\, cultural or religious bias makes it hard to support trans folks without seeming to disrespect the culture. At the same time\, some Latin American countries have much more inclusive legal frameworks or greater protections for work-place trans inclusion than the US currently does. In this workshop the facilitators will review how we’ve seen these challenges show up in US-based organizations serving Spanish speakers\, and some approaches we’ve used to support trans inclusion in Spanish-speaking contexts. Participants will reflect on the needs and opportunities in their organizations and communities and consider ways to better support Spanish-speaking trans and nonbinary constituents. Language and gender justice are crucial pillars of our solidarity praxis. \nParticipants will be exposed to our model for organizational growth at the intersections of gender\, language and racial justice when working with diverse (queer\, immigrant\, multi-racial\, muti-ethnic\, class\, diverse\, etc.) communities; and learn about the importance of diversifying efforts in trans and non-binary inclusion towards language diverse communities\, and vice versa. \nRegistration is free \nWhen: Friday / December 11th\, 2026 / 12pm-1pm EST\nWhere: Zoom \nEste evento será conducido en Inglés.
