Emerging Voices

Our voices matter. For too long, the narratives and expertise of young queer and trans people of color in the South and Midwest have been ignored or talked over. URGE showcases young content creators and storytellers who have the opportunity to gain skills in writing for a variety of blogs and media outlets, creating engaging digital content, while using social media to amplify their work. EmURGEing Voices highlights the views of young people on issues related Reproductive Justice and gender equity. Explore their work here.
