If you’re curious about grassroots organizing and combatting homophobia, transphobia, and racism in your local community, you’re in luck! YouthLine is launching a new virtual teach-in series focused on advocacy! This series of virtual workshops will teach you the fundamentals of advocacy and will provide space for learning and discussion related to race, gender, and sexuality.
Upcoming Teach-Ins
Intro to Pinkwashing
Are you interested in learning more about pinkwashing? Do you want to learn more about the connections between queer and Palestinian liberation movements? Are you looking to get involved in Palestinian solidarity organizing or decolonial movements more generally?
YouthLine is excited to welcome Queers 4 Palestine for an interactive teach-in on pinkwashing and Palestine solidarity organizing. Join the teach-in to learn more about how 2SLGBTQ+ communities can take action against pinkwashing!
YouthLine is honoured to host this important community conversation. Queer liberation cannot be achieved without the liberation of all oppressed communities. Everyone is welcome and no prior knowledge is required to join this event.
Date & Time: Thursday, March 20, 2025 | 5:30 – 6:30 PM (Zoom)

Advocacy 101
Are you looking for a way to take action in your community? Do you want to use your feelings of frustration and disconnection to create change?
YouthLine will be welcoming two youth organizers from TTC Riders for an interactive session on the basics of running an advocacy campaign, including deciding on an issue and a clear goal, choosing tactics, and getting community members interested.
If you’re interested in learning more about advocacy and organizing in your school, at your school board, or in your local community, this event is for you!
