SUMMARY:National Crime Victims' Rights Week with Equality Michigan's Department of Victim Services
DESCRIPTION:April 18—24 is National Crime Victims’ Rights Week\, and this year’s theme is “Support Victims. Build Trust. Engage Communities.” To recognize this important week\, we sat down with Genny Maze and Brooke Lindley from Equality Michigan’s Department of Victim Services to discuss how they work daily to support LGBTQ+ victims of crime in their state.  \nThey shared their experiences providing support\, advocacy\, and community-building on behalf of LGBTQ+ families like their own in the state of Michigan.  \n  \n  \n \nGenny Maze is the Lead Victim Advocate at Equality Michigan. She is a highly experienced and awarded advocate with a long history of working for non-profits including The Salvation Army\, Affirmations LGBTQ Community Center\, and Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Ms. Maze has served as an advocate for the LGBTQ community\, the homeless\, domestic violence survivors\, disadvantaged youth\, and survivors of drunk driving crashes. \n  \n  \n \nBrooke Lindley is the LGBTQ Victim Services Case Manager at Equality Michigan. She began her career over 10 years ago in Child Welfare as a Court Appointed Special Advocate and founded a LGBT resource group for lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, intersex youth in foster care. After graduating college she became a Child Welfare Social Worker. She is nationally trained in working with children who have been abused and specialized working with children who were sexually abused. After several years\, Brooke started working for the YWCA Kalamazoo as a LGBT specific Victim Service Advocate working with survivors of sexual violence. Then\, she served as Director of Advocacy for OutFront Kalamazoo\, the LGBT center in Kalamazoo. She provided trainings to businesses and agencies all over Michigan on how to create inclusive and intentional safe spaces. She developed an advocacy program which partnered major LGBT organizations in Michigan like Equality Michigan and national organizations like Human Rights Campaign.

SUMMARY:Celebrating Nonbinary Parents Day with Founder Johnny Blazes
DESCRIPTION:  \nAt Family Equality\, we know that there is no one way to build a family\, nor is there any single universal kind of parent. Some parents celebrate Mothers’ Day in May\, Fathers’ Day in June\, or parents day in July. When Johnny became a parent\, they wanted a special day to celebrate their parenthood—and they invited their nonbinary parent friends to join along.   \nJess Venable-Novak\, Family Equality’s Family Engagement Manager\, sat down to talk with Johnny about being a nonbinary parent\, founding a special day to celebrate nonbinary parents\, and how the holiday has changed over the years.  \nTW//Infant Loss

SUMMARY:LGBTQ-&-A: Community Conversations
DESCRIPTION:Calling all LGBTQ+ prospective parents- especially our trans & non-binary parents-to-be! \nIn this LGBTQ & A: Community Conversation session we will be discussing strategies for self-advocating in fertility spaces. Too often\, as LGBTQ+ people\, we don’t have access to LGBTQ+ friendly and LGBTQ+ competent family building practitioners. This puts our community – specifically transgender and non-binary people – in a position of needing to advocate for ourselves and our needs while also being a patient and receiving services. During our time together we will be exploring how folks can balance self-advocacy and self-care. \nOur LGBTQ & A: Community Conversation sessions are interactive and a space for folks to come and listen\, but also engage and share their experience with the session’s topic. We hope you’ll join us! \nThis session is sponsored by California Cryobank. \nTo register for this event and receive log-in info\, fill out the form below:  \nOops!
