REV. ASHLEY DETAR BIRT

LGBTQ+ Cuba Trip


Picture
Update: We did it!
Thanks to your kind generosity, I have reached my $1100 goal! While I certainly won't stop folks from donating more, please know that the goal has been reached!


I have been accepted on a cultural trip to Cuba to learn about LGBTQ+ culture. The trip includes learning about past and present queer Cuban issues (including LGBTQ+ Afro-Cuban issues), drag culture in Cuba, eco-farming, and food, as well as attending Contra Homophobia (Cuban Pride Week). There will also be hiking, so there’s that.  After this trip (in relation to the study leave part):

  • I will create programming around my experiences once I'm back in NYC
  • I will create online content around my experiences

While I am able to pay off some of the trip with study funds/my own money, I will need at least $1000 to help pay off the rest and afford airfare/visas. Contributions of any size are helpful, and once I reach my goal, I will shut down this page. If the travel laws change and the trip gets cancelled, I will return the funds and/or donate them to a charity for LGBTQ+ Latinx people (contributor's choice).

Thanks for helping me on this journey!
