As a past recipient of professional development training from TransActive Gender Project, we wanted to reach out to let you know about two upcoming workshops taking place this spring, as well as our Gender Diversity Certificate Program. Both workshops are offered in an online format, and are eligible for CEU or PDU credit. We invite you to take a look at the opportunities below, and sign up for our mailing list to receive periodic emails about future workshops and trainings (select TGP under 'Projects & Programs').  We hope to see you soon!   Uprising: Understanding Current Legal Protections and Advocating for Transgender Lives Saturdays, February 18 & 25, 9 a.m.-12 p.m., Online  This two-part online workshop with TGP program director Jenn Burleton and attorney Judah Largent, JD, will focus on the current state of legal protections for transgender people at the federal and state level (OR and WA), as well as the growing amount of proposed anti-trans youth legislation across the nation. Participants will leave with a better understanding of rights in schools and healthcare settings, the rights of parents and caregivers, the legal obligations of child-serving agencies and institutions, and more. Details: $160.
