Trans Spectrum AZ has been holding community meetings for gender-expansive people, but their goals are loftier than just talking to each other. LOOKOUT spoke with Jay Brown, board member of TSAZ, to learn more.
On Thursday Jan. 26, LOOKOUT will host its first of its semi-regular listening sessions, where reporters, editors, activists, artists and members of the community all get to come together and talk about issues important to them.
This is an ongoing effort of many local non profit newsrooms to be engaged in their communities, and make sure that you—our subscribers—are helping us guide the coverage that you want, not what we think you should read.
For our first listening session, we are being generously hosted by our friends at The New Times’ office building on 12th Street and Jefferson Road, in their conference room on the second floor. Light food and beverage will be provided.
But also: don’t be afraid to bring snacks! This is a community event!
We will be discussing LOOKOUT’s overall vision, as well as our current and ongoing coverage. We will then transition to a roundtable Q&A from attendees.
Attendance is free, but space is limited! Be sure to RSVP on eventbrite and get your ticket here.
