This event is a closed community space for trans and nonbinary members of Boston Workers Circle for community building, resource-sharing, and determining next steps for meeting our group’s needs. We will share a shabes ritual together, and pizza will be served.

Who is this space for?
This space is for self-identified transgender and/or nonbinary Boston Workers Circle members. We want this space to be a welcoming place for all BWC members within the umbrella of gender expansive people, including elders who may not identify with the labels of transgender or nonbinary, but are impacted by anti-trans systems. Given the normalization of their exclusion from trans and nonbinary spaces generally, we want to explicitly welcome members who identify as trans women, transfeminine, or assigned male at birth (AMAB). This space centers trans, nonbinary, and similarly gender expansive people; in order to support trans and nonbinary youth, the space is open to cisgender parents who are attending with their trans and/or nonbinary child. As part of the gathering, we will have available separate support spaces for cisgender parents and trans/nonbinary members. This structure was developed to facilitate trans and nonbinary youth participation in the space, preserve trans/nonbinary-only affinity space so folks can share comfortably, and create support space for cisgender parents who are assisting their youth with navigating transphobic systems.

This space is not a general community space open to cisgender allies. We hope to be able to offer an open space in the future where we can organize together to support trans and nonbinary members.

Who is organizing this space?
A group of trans and/or nonbinary BWC members and staff are working to create this gathering space. If you have any questions, please reach out to BWC Organizer Zohar Berman at zohar@circleboston.org or (617) 819-1620.
