A QPOC conference for the RGV

About Aquí Estamos

In order to create a safe community for diverse sexual and gender identities in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas, Aquí Estamos aims to engage people in critical dialogue on the existence, theories, intersectionalities, and liberation of LGBTQ identities in our region.

This conference seeks to bring together queer-identifying people and allies to identify the institutional, social, and cultural currents and themes that continue to oppress queer and gender nonconforming identities in our borderland. Aquí Estamos strives to challenge those currents and themes by creating a visible and unified movement where LGBTQ people can stand in solidarity for justice.
