Notes on access:
It is our intention to create an accessible and welcoming space for LGBTSTGNC POC families, communities, and allies in Central Brooklyn. The venue is physically accessible (flat venue with ramps to the bathrooms), can be accessed by public transit (B38, B43, and G to Bedford-Nostrand), and provides gender neutral public bathrooms. We will offer Spanish language interpretation. Audre Lorde Project community practitioners and other community members will provide a variety of wellness and fitness activities for event goers. ALP members trained in security and de-escalation will support the safety and well-being of our community members throughout the event. Please contact cpineda@alp.org if you have any suggestions or additions on how to make the space more accessible, and efukui@alp.org if you have any particular concerns about security.
