Our Folks: Voices of LGBTQ+ Youth of Color
For more than 10 years, URGE has helped build the capacity of young people who want to develop content about reproductive and gender justice, as seen through Our Folks: Voices of LGBTQ+ Youth Of Color fellowship program. After getting training in personal essay writing and digital activism, our spokespeople and storytellers have the opportunity to gain skills in giving media interviews, writing for a variety of blogs and media outlets, and using social media to amplify their work.
We encourage our fellows to take risks and explore topics that haven’t been covered before. With that said, the views expressed in these posts reflect the perspectives of the individual authors and do not necessarily represent or reflect the views or official policies of URGE.
