Next-Level Ally: Support Queer & Transgender Friends (Zine)
by Eli Sachse.
Your guide to speaking up, acting out, and protecting your community with radical empathy.
A practical discussion about the oppressive landscape queer and transgender people find ourselves in, and what you can do about it. With a focus on direct and effective communication, this expanded edition for our devolving political landscape is filled with real-world examples to help you make a difference in your community. Both urgent and encouraging, each chapter is packed with strategies for real-world interactions that anybody can put to work at any time—from dealing with health professionals, educators, and law enforcement to talking with family, friends, and co-workers; from seeking mental health support to organizing gender-neutral baby showers. We need our allies to back us up, so read up and join the fight!
