Advocating for Community Change/Affirmation

As library professionals your roles impact community well beyond the walls of library.  You can provide unmatched support to your community.  Actions that may feel small to some, such as providing a meeting space to young activists, have immense impact on members of community and the community as whole.  This workshop will provide actionable steps you and your agency can take to push the needle of progress forward in your community.

Elizabeth Munsky is an LGBTQIA+ Advocacy Consultant with over 10 years of LGBTQ+ advocacy, education, policy and program development experience.  Elizabeth specializes in policy analysis and program development for local and city governmental agencies.  Throughout her career she has assisted local public schools, tech industry leaders, small non-profits, local and city government agencies of all sizes, and everywhere in-between; all with the goal of pushing the needle of progress, support and affirmation for LGBTQIA+ people forward.  Currently she works as the Executive Director of LGBTQIA+ Affairs at the New York City Department of Correction.  As a self-defined educator and experiential learner, Elizabeth hopes that she can learn as much for those attending her workshops as they do from her.
