Community circle for queer & trans parents and caregivers of all genders. Centering BIPOC & allies with children 4 years old & younger.
About this Event

New parent community circle for queer and trans folx of all genders. Bring a box of clothes/toys/books your little ones have grown out of and go home with something new!

***You do not need to bring anything in order to participate.

Centering BIPOC and allies with children four years old and younger.

We will be gathering monthly in a facilitator-lead circle to openly share about the joys and challenges of being a new parent/caregiver while building community with other queer families.

Our mission is to create a safe container to ensure that all voices have equal opportunity to be heard - there will be no cross-talk or advice giving during the feeling-centered sharing process.

***We are simultaniously building our conversation around parenting-hacks, resources, announcements and everyday support on our private whatsapp group.

*Masks required for adults.


MEETING AT THE FRUITVALE BRANCH OF THE OAKLAND PUBLIC LIBRARY!

APRIL 10 - 11-12:30pm
