Surviving Hate: A conversation on preliminary survey findings

FORGE heard from over 1,000 trans/nonbinary people about their experiences with hate violence and state-sanctioned hate, as well as their strategies for safety and coping. In this conversational webinar, FORGE staff share initial findings from this survey, engage in discussion with each other and with the audience on what those findings mean for our world and our work, and gather input from participants on what comes next.
