SUMMARY:Gender Justice Brunch
DESCRIPTION:December 8\, 2024\n11:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.\nThe Depot Minneapolis\nThe Gender Justice Brunch is your time to socialize\, network\, celebrate and learn about a topic that affects our reproductive rights community. \nWith social games\, mission-aligned activities\, music by DJ Tricky Miki\, a performance by Prairie Fire Choir\, brunch drinks and food\, and a lively discussion\, this event is not to be missed. \nGretchen Sisson\, PhD\, and Gender Justice Board Member\, Joy Parker will engage in a conversation: Exploring Adoption’s Place in Reproductive Justice: Indian Child Welfare Act and Domestic Adoption in the Dobbs Era. \nWith the US Supreme Court decisions in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization revoking federal protections for abortion and Brackeen v. Haaland upholding the Indian Child Welfare Act\, we are in a political moment in which adoption is\, increasingly\, being revealed as an institution devoted to separating families and policing parenthood under the guise of feel-good family-building. Join us to learn more about the history\, politics and privilege in the domestic adoption industry. Our expert speakers will explore new research on birth-parent experiences and the powerful possibilities of case law and policies that prioritize both family preservation and tribal sovereignty. \nContinuing Legal Education (CLE) credits applied-for.\nChildcare available.

SUMMARY:LGBTQ+ Firearm Fundamentals: Parts\, Loading\, and Safe Handling
DESCRIPTION:This beginner-friendly workshop offers a hands-on approach to familiarize you with different types of firearms. You’ll learn about the fundamental parts of a gun\, what each part does\, and the right terminology to use when discussing firearms. Understanding if a firearm is loaded or not is a critical skill for everyone\, not just for those who handle guns. Therefore\, a significant part of our workshop is dedicated to teaching you how to determine if a firearm is loaded\, the process of safely unloading it\, and the importance of always treating a gun as if it’s loaded. Safety is paramount when handling firearms. \nThis workshop aims to instill best practices for firearm safety. We cover essential safety rules\, including proper handling\, storage\, and maintenance. We will demonstrate the correct posture for holding a gun and the safest way to pass a firearm to another person. No previous experience with firearms is required for this workshop. It is perfect for individuals who want to educate themselves about guns for safety reasons\, as well as those who are considering owning a firearm in the future. \nLearning Outcomes: \n∙ Comprehensive understanding of the different parts of a firearm and their functions. \n∙ Ability to determine whether a firearm is loaded. \n∙ Proficiency in safely unloading a firearm. \n∙ Knowledge of key safety rules for handling\, storing\, and maintaining firearms. \nRemember\, knowledge is the first step to safety. Join us in this informative and empowering workshop to build a foundation of responsible firearm understanding and practice. Please note: This class does NOT have range time
