Wannabe Moms & Dads: How to Start a Family / Being an LGBTQ ParentThis workshop will present how, why, and what to watch out for in starting a family. It will be led by LGBTQ Asian Americans and South Asians who have children. Presenters will talk about how to become parents and the different ways they became parents, through same-sex adoption or a sperm donor. The presenters will talk frankly about their personal experiences, joys and struggles of parenting, family acceptance, making mom and dad grandparents, negotiating who is “daddy,”“mommy,” or another word entirely, issues of race, and broader community acceptance. At the end of the program, an attorney will briefly go over the nuts, bolts, and legal options for individuals and couples who want to start a family.PresentersLance Toma, Executive Director, Asian & Pacific Islander Wellness Center, San Francisco, CAHye-John Chung, mother of Julian (7 years old) and Miles (4), Wilmington, DESunu P.

This workshop will highlight the current momentum intersectional organizing between LGBTQ and immigrants rights has gained across the country. Attendees will be trained on direct action organizing as a tool/tactic to push for pro-LGBTQ and immigrant rights policies and legislation. The workshop will look at a trans and queer civil disobedience action that took place in May 2014 in Santa Ana, CA as a case study. Currently, the Santa Ana city jail includes an LGBTQ pod where LGBTQ undocumented immigrants are held. Attendees will engage in skill-sharing and learn about the pre, during, and post process of organizing an effective direct action in order to advance any action’s message and demands. Also, the workshop will present attendees with a model to ensure that communities most affected by issues take front center and are part of the strategy and organizing process from beginning to end.
