The State of Discrimination: from Ferguson, to HERO, to HB2, to Islan Nettles is a critical discourse that will examine the current state of discrimination in America by engaging in a dialogue about contemporary forms of oppression and modern day discrimination.
A panel consisting of four community leaders will join us to discuss racism, transphobia, gender discrimination, and heterosexism. During this conversation we’ll examine issues relating to Ferguson, police brutality, disparities in the criminal justice system, Islan Nettles, the epidemic of violence against black trans* people, the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance, Roe vs. Wade, HB2, and a host of other issues that will help us understand the current state of discrimination in America.
Our panelist will include:
Durrel Douglas, co-founder of the Houston Justice Coalition.
Brad Pritchett, President of the Houston Stonewall Young Democrats
Shailey Gupta-Brietzke, local attorney and board member of the National Network of Abortion Funds

Join us on March 11th from 4:00 to 5:40 at the University of Houston-Downtown in room N-1099 (on the 10th floor) for this enlightening and engaging dialogue. Refreshments will be provided.
