The Emerging Queer & Intersectional Environmental Movement | Webinar

The LGBTQ Caucus at The Wilderness Society is hosting The Emerging Queer & Intersectional Environmental Movement webinar on October 20th at 12 pm EST/9 am PST in celebration of LGBTQ+ History Month. 🌈
For this webinar, we will have The Wilderness Society's Equity Associate, Campbell Simmons, moderating the webinar and speaking with three amazing people about queerness and the outdoors. We'll be exploring what it means to exist as an LGBTQ+ person in the outdoors, how LGBTQ people are influencing and building the future of the environmental movement, and how the struggles for LGBTQ rights and environmentalism are deeply enmeshed.
