On November 30, members of the local transgender community had an opportunity to gather in Holyoke to share ideas and strategize about movement building.

Trainers Toby Davis and Louis Mitchell led participants in exercises designed to map out a process for achieving desired outcomes for current concerns.

In January, Davis will offer another class designed to support and connect members of the transgender community. Communi-T: Fostering Resilience for Trans, Nonbinary and Gender Nonconforming Activists will be offered on January 11 in Springfield.
