Description
Queer economic power is movement power. In a world where philanthropic funding leaves LGBTQI+ organizations vulnerable to political shifts, this session explores queer entrepreneurship, and LGBTQI+ economic incubators as the path to independence. How do we turn economic contribution into unshakable power? Featuring founders of Europe’s largest LGBTQ+ social enterprise (Sofia) and a trans-led incubator (Lisbon), alongside StartOut (USA), PLUS Network (South Africa), and Dutch New Narrative Lab (Netherlands), we’ll use live polling to surface challenges and strategies for building economic power that sustains our movement beyond grants.
