Planned Parenthood of Illinois Action(external link) and Uniting Pride team up to deliver a night of education and information, but with a fun twist! Learn about the state of the political landscape for the LGBTQ+ community here in our area and beyond. But also learn how to engage in political action like relational organizing, phone banking, door to door engagement, and more—but from drag performers! Yep, you read that right—FROM DRAG PERFORMERS! The night will cap off with some light refreshments and performances by our local drag stars. You don't want to miss this night of learning and levity all in one! RSVP requested.
We're excited to welcome the following folks to join us for this program:
- Herra Winn, drag performer.
- Buck Sallday, drag performer.
- Ed Yohnka, Director of Communications and Public Policy, ACLU of Illinois.
- Katie Stanczykiewicz, Director of Government Relations, Planned Parenthood of Illinois.
