We Been Here focuses on ways to uplift Black Queer and Trans folks within organizing spaces and the Black movement. This workshop contextualizes how much work, sacrifice, acts of resistance, and contributions Black Queer and Trans folks provide(d) within the Black Movement and Black liberation. Queerphobia, Transphobia, and Anti-Blackness are intersecting mutually reinforced systems, in which they must be discussed together in order to understand oppressive logic behind these systems and also to seek freedom. This workshop centers on organizing strategies, creating space for Black queer and trans folks, and "politicizing the personal" when centering Black Queer and Trans issues.
