We Take Care of Us: Addressing Marriage Equality (Obergefell) & Beyond in Fascist Times

PregnantTogether and femme & femme LLP join forces for this virtual community gathering. Two queer femme lawyers will present on and answer questions regarding the current LGBT legal landscape.

What You’ll Learn:

With the rise of misinformation and click-bait media, as well as the continuing brutal policies of Trump, it’s hard to decipher where the law currently sits and what we can do about it. Part law, part feelings — this conversation will involve a presentation on current law, how to decipher misinformation, and how to gently move through the understandable fear and panic to come together and resist and persist in the face of fascism. Donation based. All queers and allies are welcome. 

About femme & femme LLP:

We provide LGBTQ+ clients and allies with heart-centered legal services during important events in their life, from birth to death.

As queer people, we understand our collective safety and wellbeing does not start or end with the law. And as experienced attorneys, we recognize the law currently plays a significant role in determining which types of families are protected and which are not, as well as how resources are passed generationally.

Whether you are expanding your family to include a little one or want to ensure chosen loved ones are at your bedside if your health turns, we are here to help. We see family protection law and estate planning as part of a much larger practice to honor the dignity and self-determination of queer & trans people. We all deserve to create the families our hearts yearn for and to plan and protect our families (chosen and bio) during our lifetime and beyond.

As queer nonbinary femmes, we delight in working with our community and we serve anyone in need of a compassionate and skilled legal team.

Free for all - donations graciously accepted
