OC Trans Pride is a FREE 2-day event planned by the LGBTQ Center OC’s

Trans* Committee. This year’s theme is Blossoming to show the beauty within the trans* community and celebrate the joy the community feels The buds that are blossoming through outreach, resources, education, and events such as OC Trans Pride.

Resource booths, workshops/panels, and rock painting!

September 25th, 12-5PM Frida Cinema (Santa Ana)

Live performances, glam closet, and binder closet!

Our theme this year is centered around BLOSSOMING as individuals and community:

While our years are faced with hardships, in which we learn resilience and gallantry, there calls a time for moments of rest and reflection. The transgender community is often expected to create their own spaces for free. It is within these spaces, much like any community, we find our moments of peace, Trans Pride provides rest.

It provides connections.

It provides community and reminds us that we are not alone in our journey.

The transgender journey is one of reinvention. And in each version of ourselves that we share, we are often met with resistance; small moments of true acceptance and understanding feel rare but invaluable.

In these small moments of acceptance, we reenergize and grow.

We want to spend our time of rest this year in a wash of acceptance.

We will reflect on our growth together and celebrate each other.

And we will bloom. Together.

Join us for live entertainment, resources, law games, food for purchase at the Mess Hall food court, workshops, and so much more!

Riverside County Board of Education Meeting
2023-10-04 17:00 - 19:00 | RCOE Board Room, 3939 Thirteenth Street, Riverside, California, 92501, United States
Planned Parenthood Action Fund of the Pacific Southwest and community partners are asking the Riverside County Board of Education to protect LGBTQ+ students against attacks on their rights by local school boards. Schools should be safe spaces for all students, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. Join the efforts!

How to Get Involved:

Attend the next Riverside County Board of Education meeting on Wednesday, October 4th and make a public comment. Help us ensure the Board of Education knows we stand with LGBTQ+ students and want safe school environments for all. When attending and commenting, be sure to clearly state “I live in Riverside County” or “I'm a resident of ______” to raise your comment above others who are not a part of our community. We've seen almost all of these meetings across the country be taken over by protesters who do not live in the communities the meeting is intended for. Make sure that the board hears from it's own community.

Meeting Date and Time: October 4th at 5:00pm

Location: RCOE Board Room, 3939 Thirteenth Street, Riverside, CA 92501

You can find sample public comments on the Planned Parenthood Action Fund page.

Can’t join in-person? Send an email in support of LGBTQ+ youth to Riverside County Board of Education members. Find list of Board Member emails here.

Graphic Novelist Jazmine Joyner, in-conversation with John Jennings!

In the Deep South, something evil waits in the darkness…

Award-winning graphic novel writer Jazmine Joyner is coming to Cellar Door to celebrate their newest graphic novel, Devour, which will be released on May 7th. They will be in-conversation with our friend, graphic novel illustrator John Jennings (Hugo and Eisner award winner for graphic novel adaptations of Parable of the Sower and Kindred).

In this horror graphic novel written by Joyner and illustrated by Anthony Pugh, American Gods meets Get Out in a dark retelling of the West African legend of Anansi the Spider. Devour tells the story of the Turner family, who move to Alabama to care for their ailing matriarch, Vassie, when she begins suffering from dementia. But Vassie isn’t just any old lady; she’s the last of a line of powerful root women who have been caring for the community since her ancestors were first captured and enslaved by white plantation owners. Patsy, the eldest daughter in the family, is immediately suspicious; the locals’ fear and superstition of her grandmother leads Patsy to take a closer look at the Turner family home, and what she finds is beyond her wildest nightmares.

Jazmine Joyner is a Black disabled nonbinary femme who has been working in various parts of the comics industry for years. From being the first Black woman on the West Coast to own a comic shop to being an award-winning comics journalist, they have committed their life to their love of comics. They are based in Southern California and have written for Women Write About Comics, The Comics MNT, and others. Devour is their debut graphic novel.

John Jennings is a Professor of Media and Cultural Studies at the University of California at Riverside. Jennings is co-editor of the Eisner Award-winning collection The Blacker the Ink: Constructions of the Black Identity in Comics and Sequential Art. Jennings is also a 2016 Nasir Jones Hip Hop Studies Fellow with the Hutchins Center at Harvard University.
