Chicago – The Chicago Dyke March Collective announces its annual Community Forum on Tuesday, May 28, from 6:00-7:30 p.m., at 4753 N. Broadway, 5th Floor. Light refreshments will be provided. The building is wheelchair accessible with gender-neutral restrooms. The forum is free and open to the public.
The Community Forum is part of the Collective’s intentional community building within the neighborhood where the March is located. This year’s forum is co-organized with Asian Americans Advancing Justice-Chicago, a non-profit, advocacy community organization, and the topic will be the intersection of queerness, race, and immigration.
This will be the second and last year the March will be held in the Argyle and Uptown neighborhood. The March will be on Saturday, June 29, with a step-off from Margate Park (Argyle/Marine Drive) at 3:00 p.m.
Chicago Dyke March Collective is a grassroots mobilization and celebration of dyke, queer, bisexual, and transgender resilience. It is an anti-racist, anti-violent, volunteer-led, grassroots effort with a goal to bridge together communities across race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, age, size, gender identity, gender expression, sexuality, culture, immigrant status, spirituality, and ability. We challenge fatphobia and are body positive. For more information about the Community Forum or the March, visit chicagodykemarch.wordpress.com or e-mail dykemarchchicago@gmail.com.
