Prior to the screening, Latino Equality Alliance (LEA) will provide an on-site workshop addressing substance use, prevention, and harm reduction education. This presentation is designed to give an overview of contemporary drug and substance usage, prevention and alternatives for substance usage, substance usage issues and concerns through a harm reduction lens where we emphasize the importance of providing life-saving information, and destigmatizing substance use disorder. The workshop aims to address the significant increase in opioid related overdoses by providing life saving information.

• Different Classes of Substances/Drugs and Their Effects on the Body
• Recognizing Risks & Signs of Opioid Related Overdoses
• Harm Reduction 101, Tips, and Strategies
• Narcan/Naloxone 101: Naloxone Info + Administering Naloxone
• Calling for Help When You Think Someone May Be Experiencing An Overdose 101

Latino Equality Alliance (LEA) proudly presents the 2025 Transgender Day of Remembrance Altar, a tribute to the trans lives we've lost to violence, illness, and natural causes. We extend the Dia de los Muertos tradition of the ofrenda to Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR), honoring our transcestors (trans ancestors) by featuring their photographs and favorite things. While originally focused on lives lost to violence, we've broadened our intention to include all trans lives lost within our communities. We welcome you to join us in commemorating this TDoR Altar by attending this screening and bringing a photo of a departed trans loved one to add to the TDoR Altar for the evening, if applicable.

Thanks to our generous sponsors, this event is free for the entire community!
