Description:
Today it is critically important for local government to stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community in Santa Cruz County. With discriminatory policy changes happening at the federal level, we want you to know we stand with you. We need YOUR voice to help us create a County where everyone thrives— a cosmically queer and thriving Santa Cruz County!
Join Santa Cruz County government leaders for some art and connection! This workshop will create a collective vision board for a cosmically queer and thriving Santa Cruz County! There will be glitter and free (temporary) tattoos! Come join us!
