What is a Caucus?

We have been holding caucus gatherings since our very first Better Together conference in 2018. A Caucus is a meeting of individuals and groups from each section and intersection of the LGBTIQA+ community. Its purpose is to:

• Create a safe/brave space for the community to discuss the important issues that matter;

• Identify what has worked or is working and celebrate the achievements;

• Identify the challenges and explore possible solutions to creating change;

• Build on existing networks, share ideas and establish new connections;

• Foster the creation of a new network, support group and/or advocacy group;

• Establish the foundation for strategies for change or an action plan to address identified issues;

• Explore ways to support other LGBTIQA+ communities and how to be better allies;

• Create new alliances towards a movement for change within and outside of the community.

Who is this for?

• Community advocates, activists and change-makers;

• Members of the community who want to have a platform to explore the things that matter;

• Individuals who want to engage, connect and collaborate with other like-minded individuals.

We warmly invite everyone to participate in a Caucus meeting on 17-19 June 2021 by purchasing a ticket to the Better Together 2021 conference.
