Annual Conference: Allied and Connected – Broad Coalitions for Trans* Rights
Broad, solidarity-based coalitions that extend beyond trans* communities are the most effective strategy for responding to increasing hostility and anti-democratic movements and for securing the rights of trans and non-binary people.
In times when hostility is increasing and anti-discrimination measures are perceived as less relevant, solidarity and cohesion are becoming ever more central for marginalised communities.
The text announces an annual conference on 16 and 17 October, aimed at activists from trans* communities, civil society, academia, and politics. The starting point is the observation that hostility is increasing and anti-discrimination measures are losing in significance. From this, a united front against anti-democratic and far-right movements is presented as necessary. At the centre are strategies for strengthening solidarity and cohesion for trans and non-binary communities. On Friday the focus is on coalition politics beyond trans* communities, on Saturday on building coalitions at the level of individuals, initiatives, and organisations. Societal and health-policy aspects as well as intergenerational learning are addressed. In addition to substantive content, the conference offers space for exchange, networking, and shared meals. Registration is via an online link.
