The TRANS KIDS, OUR KIDS Lubbock, TX Event

Lubbock, TX Event – "Trans Kids, Our Kids"

Please join us for the Lubbock, TX stop of the TRANS KIDS, OUR KIDS book tour! Trans Kids, Our Kids: Stories and Resources from the Frontlines of the Movement for Transgender Youth is a new book that takes readers inside the movement for transgender youth, told through narratives that will open your eyes, break your heart, and give you hope. The book is co-written by team members from the Campaign for Southern Equality, a leader in the work to protect trans youth and their families across the South and, through the Trans Youth Emergency Project, nationwide.

For this special stop in Lubbock, we are proud to partner with Lubbock Pride, PFLAG Lubbock, Texas Tech University's Rainbow Leaders and First Unitarian Universalist of Lubbock. The event will include a reading from Trans Kids, Our Kids; a panel discussion that includes co-authors Alexis Stratton plus cover designer Liz Williams, Tracey Benefield of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Lubbock, Beth Baez of Texas Tech's Rainbow Leaders Association, Ash Martinez of First Unitarian Universalist Church of Lubbock, and Vincent Purkeypile, a community LGBTQ+ advocate and artist; a Q&A focused on how you can take action; and a book signing.

Please RSVP for this free event – and, if you're able, add a donation that will directly support trans and queer youth. All proceeds from the sales of Trans Kids, Our Kids will support the Trans Youth Emergency Project, which helps families of trans youth navigate anti-transgender healthcare restrictions. Books will be available for purchase at the event, or you can pre-order Trans Kids, Our Kids by clicking here.
