 LGBTQ Issues, Rights, and Safety
“Together We CAN Change the Narrative of Waukesha County” Workshop with Melissa Tempel on THURSDAY, JANUARY 9 at 6:30pm at the Waukesha Public Library, Conference Room 2 at 321 Wisconsin Avenue. Waukesha County has a reputation for being a community that is unwelcoming and intolerant, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Diverse and Resilient’s<https://www.diverseandresilient.org/> new staff member, Melissa Tempel, invites you to have a conversation about how we can spread inclusivity and compassion for the LGBTQIA+ community. Together, we can change the narrative of Waukesha County!
