Join the conversation and make a difference at the 2024 Orlando Strong Symposium hosted by Contigo Fund!
Looking back to last year’s powerful sessions, our 2023 symposium united key community stakeholders to engage in critical discussions on frontline leadership concerning Queer, Trans, Racial, and Reproductive Justice. Highlights included strategy sessions on responding to anti-Trans legislation, building safety and security infrastructure, countering hate messaging, and preparing for the 2024 election.
This year, we’re continuing to build on that momentum with even more dynamic sessions and powerful conversations.
