Fans everywhere are joining forces to fight for better representation in the media we love. And that's not all: our super-powered storytelling, social media, and fandom skills are also tools we can use to defeat unjust laws and bigoted policies. Are you ready to suit up and change the world for the better? Join expert campaigners as we grow an LGBTQ geek movement to resist, persist, and insist on a just and fabulous world for everyone. We will arm you with tools to build a campaign strategy for whatever your cause and help you connect with fellow fans and activists.
Anna Dardick is a professional nerd, die-hard Gryffindor, and beleaguered optimist who uses the power of pop culture (and some sweet spreadsheets) to triumph over the dark arts in the real world.
By day, Elana Levin teaches super heroing skills to activists and nonprofit organizations. By night, @Elana_Brooklyn writes and podcasts about comics for GraphicPolicy.com.
