Thank you to the Brandon and District Labour Council for organizing Pride in Politics for Brandon Pride Week 2024! This panel will take place in the Gathering Area in the John E. Robbins Library located on the Brandon University campus.

The goal of this event is to reach out to the 2SLGBTQI+ community and affirm that there is a place in politics. During the last year, right here in Brandon and Manitoba, the 2SLGBTQI+ community has been at the center of attacks, including attempts to ban certain books in the Brandon School Division. This ongoing situation has heightened awareness of the political power held as voters, the importance of the democratic process, and why getting involved is so important.

This event aims to further engage the community, empowering individuals to assert their political agency and possibly pursue a political future. Two politicians, Lisa Naylor and Logan Oxenham, will share their journeys as activists and their paths in politics, providing insights and inspiration.

Join in the sharing of experiences and explore ways to collectively shape a more inclusive and representative political landscape.

This event is free with no registration required.
