FacilitatorsApphia K, Board Member, SALGA-NYC, New York, NY Joy Messinger, Core Member, Invisible to Invincible: Asian Pacific Islander Pride of Chicago, Chicago, IL SCE East Terrace Making LGBTQ AAPI Organizations and Your Group Trans InclusiveMany of our groups are great resources for lesbian and gay members but are still struggling to be truly inclusive of trans* folks. Inappropriate questions get asked, trans* community members feel tokenized, we plan parties without taking into consideration whether gender neutral bathrooms will be available, etc. The urge to be an ally is there, but it takes some effort, and these efforts have to be prioritized by the entire organization, not just by the lone trans* volunteer. This workshop is a rundown of steps taken and pitfalls encountered when we were doing this work at SALGA-NYC, and a discussion of what it takes to be not only an ally, but a true welcoming community for trans* leaders and community members. PresentersMashuq Deen, SALGA-NYC, New York, NY Aneesa Sen, SALGA-NYC, New York, NY Tower 603 Working While LGBTQMillions of LGBTQ people go to work every day fearing they could lose their jobs because of who they are. No current federal law adequately protects LGBTQ workers from employment discrimination. During this workshop, participants will examine and share their experiences with LGBTQ workplace issues; learn about federal, state, and local workplace protections; and explore ways they can advance LGBTQ acceptance in their own communities. PresentersEdwin Tablada, EPA & Community Education Assistant, Lambda Legal, New York, NY Geneva Musgrave, Diversity and Inclusion Program Educator, Lambda Legal, New York, NY Tower 605 Peer Listening for LiberationThis interactive workshop will teach peer listening skills designed to help heal the hurts of oppression so that we can prevent burnout, be more effective in changing the world, know that we are good, and have the big lives we deserve. PresentersJeeYeun Lee, Invisible to Invincible: Asian Pacific Islander Pride of Chicago, Chicago, IL Tower 610 Navigating Higher Education as Queer AAPIsJoin this informal conversation about what it means to navigate higher education as queer AAPI staff, faculty, and administrators. What are some challenges to and strategies for thriving personally and professionally? How do we link our experiences in higher education to broader activist movements toward social justice? This session will begin with a brief panel discussion and then evolve into small-group discussions.

This workshop engages transgender/gender non-conforming individuals to reflect upon their own coming out process and share ideas for best practices with other supportive parents/allies. Due to cultural and language barriers, AAPI parents often face the challenge of grasping the idea of transgender, gender non-conforming, or genderqueer identity. Share your experiences to help PFLAG and NQAPIA create a multilingual, introductory factsheet for API parents of transgender children. PresentersClara Yoon, API Project Founder, PFLAG, New York, NY Marsha Aizumi, National Board of Directors, PFLAG, Pasadena, CA Tower 613 A New HIV Prevention Strategy with PrEP; But Where are Gay AAPI Men in the Conversation? PrEP or Pre-exposure Prophylaxis for HIV, is currently the hottest and one of most controversial issues in the gay community. Millions of dollars are being poured into the media and clinics all over the country to promote the “wonder drug” PrEP. Yet, the AAPI community has not been fully included in the national conversation. This workshop will seek to inform participants about PrEP and HIV prevention through open dialogue about our bodies, sexual behaviors, and cultural expectations. We want to engage more APIs in the new national movement in HIV prevention.
