Ready for round three? Buckle in, queer kin and chaos lovers, because this one is gonna be riveting!
On this episode of the 3 Chaotic Queers, the hosts are joined by Destiny Pitters (she/ her) to discuss grassroots responses to the ongoing violence experienced by marginalized communities – violence which is rooted within Ontario’s carceral and institutionalized care systems.
Follow along as these modern-day queer musketeers explore ways to create safe(r) communities – that are free (or at least protected) from such systematic brutalities. Discover why Rabia, Nicole, Sydney, and Destiny believe that prioritizing community-led harm reduction and safety programming is needed to #BuildBetter futures for Ontario’s 2STLGBQIA+ youth.
