GFN Weekly Meeting: Sign-making and queer protest – June 23rd
When: Wednesday, June 23rd
Time: 8pm
Where: Link to online meeting on facebook
This week, we will prepare some signs for Queer Pride Groningen and some activists campaigning for queer liberation in Poland will tell us about their campaign.
✊🇵🇱 They will be talking about the current situation in Poland and especially shed some light on an issue of the women’s and LGBTQ+ rights activists. The current campaign fights for these three women who are being persecuted for standing up for the Polish LGBTQ+ community. They distributed posters where they depicted virgin Mary and baby Jesus with a rainbow halo and hung them on churches and around their cities. Now they are being accused for “offending religious beliefs” and are still facing up to 2 years of prison simply for voicing their opinions and standing up for LGBTQ folks.
They would like to introduce a petition that can be signed and also hint at their upcoming actions! 🤗
