Do you have a workshop, training, skillshare etc to share with the community? We can’t do this without you!  It doesn’t have to be a workshop or skillshare, it can be a healing space, a performance, an art build, film screenings, etc, we have some sample criteria below for you to think about before submitting.

You can submit a workshop or event here

We will be accepting submissions up until May 7th!

Suggested Criteria —

To save space on our workshop submission form we asked that any group/persons wishing to coordinate a workshop or event, to try to hit at least half of these points of criteria. If you are requesting a stipend from NJNP to do your workshop, we may ask for the criteria to be followed more strictly. NJNP believes in autonomous principles and are not wanting to box any group in, however we do wish to set a standard to ensure Camp50 benefits the Trans Community; we are not asking that all criteria is met exactly as written here, only that your event or workshop is inline or in consensus with what’s listed below (Some bullet items may not even apply for your event):

• It clearly benefits the trans community, particularly Black and Brown Trans Women.
• Your workshop or event should build off of existing campaigning, organizing and issues in the DC area. Let us know if you have questions or would like to be plugged in with any local organizing.

• Aligns with NJNP’s Vision —

  We ask that when planning your event that your goals supports the following:
  • Creating a connected transnational movement of Trans and Queer people, led/informed by those most on the margins — Black and Brown Communities, indigenous communities, two-spirit, formerly incarcerated, disabled communities - not to box in- — Thriving and succeeding at building the world that affirms us all.
  • Create space for most impacted Trans, nonbinary, queer, lgbtq, poc, sex workers, folks on the margins to be able to have public space and attention/being centered in conversations, advocacy, media; folks whose politics are more radical than liberal/conservative
  • Flip institutional power of queer and Trans communities away from “established” to most impacted. Providing counternarratives to what is (b/c of the way systems are structured) has just one very loud/heard narrative
• Follows and adheres to DC Local Organizing Principles.
• Your group is lead or has trans folks in leadership or your workshop/event will have trans facilitators or organizers.
• Your group is lead by or has in leadership Black and Brown Trans and Queer folks or your workshop/event will have Black and Brown facilitators or organizers.
• You don’t fuck with the police.
• You don’t fuck with the police.
• You don’t fuck with the police.
