Finding local community and support is so important, and I want to open up some of my time and strength to host this event because I want to make sure no one in Cochrane and the surrounding communities feels alone in their journey. The time is now to organize our own spaces, events, and relationships, because the only ones we can count on are eachother 💖 Please share if you’re part of an allied community in Cochrane or the surrounding area, and please reach out to me via dm if you’re planning on coming! That way I can make sure we have enough seating 💖
