/Las manos que moldean: comunidad definida por la gente
In this initial roundtable discussion, we turned to the individuals, activists, and organizations on the ground directly in service to rural LGBTQ+ elders. We aimed to learn the significant barriers they experience, and how their resilience has fostered creative solutions. But further, we hoped to inform our Day 2 roundtable discussion – recognizing that we must turn to the people to define community for themselves.
En esta discusión inicial, nos dirigimos a las personas, activistas y organizaciones en el terreno directamente al servicio de los ancianos LGBTQ+ rurales. Nuestro objetivo era aprender las barreras significativas que experimentan y cómo su resiliencia ha fomentado soluciones creativas. Pero además, esperábamos informar nuestra discusión del Día 2, reconociendo que debemos recurrir a las personas para que definan la comunidad por sí mismas.
