We are in the fight of a lifetime to defend our rights, our freedoms, and our democracy and this is a moment that calls for courage, connection, and action. Organizations and individual activists are invited to join the ACLU of Indiana’s Valparaiso LGBTQ+ Popular Education Summit on April 18th, from 9:00 AM–4:30 PM CST at Trinity Lutheran Church in Valparaiso. This free, high-impact, one-day training experience is designed to give you the tools to organize, mobilize, and lead in this critical moment. Together, we’ll learn in community: strengthening our collective ability to cooperate across organizations, build solidarity for LGBTQ+ rights, and engage effectively in local and statewide campaigns that protect the civil rights of all Hoosiers. This summit is for those ready to turn urgency into strategy and outrage into action. Our communities need bold leadership and we need you in the room. Space is limited. We ask that you commit to the full day and bring someone with you. Organizing is relational, and lasting power is built together. Now is the moment to stand up, link arms, and lead. Join us and be part of building durable power for LGBTQ+ rights and civil liberties across Indiana.
