At this trans-led workshop for the whole LGBTQIA+ community, the Trans Community Support Group will be teaching a workshop based on a proven method provided by SOIL: Transformative Justice Project. In this workshop, we will be led to build our own "support pods" as a form of community care. Support pods have improved and even saved lives, developing care and support systems for those who experience a lack, especially in relation to sensitive matters. These Support Pods are in line with transformative justice methods, where we depend on ourselves and our trusted community for our care, rather than the defective, authoritarian system. In this workshop, we will begin developing Support Pods (and Pronoun Pins!) for ourselves, and start the year off by putting our care in our own hands.
