SPARK Presents HalloQUEER: A Night Of Sweets, Treats, & Conversation
SPARK Invites YOU to MY BODY MY VOTE!
Our bodies, our communities, and our futures are tied into the upcoming election. What does this mean in terms of reproductive rights? How can you get engaged locally?
Join us this evening at My Body, My Vote – a panel discussion on the upcoming elections and the potential impact they could have on marginalized communities.
The event will be held at The Georgia Hill Neighborhood Library (250 Georgia Ave SE, RM 209, Atlanta, GA 30312) today, Thursday, October 6th at 6:00 PM and will feature Kwajelyn Jackson, of the Feminist Women’s Health Center along with Chanel Haley, of Georgia Equality.
Light refreshments will be served.
This is a community event, so please share it with your friends and family.
See y’all there!

Dare to Imagine with SPARK!
On Wednesday, October 14th from 11:00AM to 4:00PM, join SPARK Reproductive Justice NOW, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Arts and Culture, as we host our very own #DareToImagine Imagination Station! We invite you to travel through time and space with us to 2035 and imagine a world where we have full liberation of our bodies, our lives, and our communities. We ask you to envision a future where we no longer live in fear of state violence. A future where there are no restrictive laws and policies controlling our bodies. A future where there are no more borders. A future where liberation is no longer a figment of our imagination.
Join us as we exercise radical social imagination—envisioning the world we wish to inhabit, sharing those visions with the world, and sparking next steps to bring that future into being. At our Imagination Station you can take part in an array of creative activities, make new connections, and make your voice heard.
The activities we have planned won’t require much of your time, but are sure to leave a lasting impression!

Film Synopsis
What happens when a diverse group of LGBTQ youth dares to be “out” on stage to reveal their lives and their loves? “The Year We Thought About Love” goes behind the scenes ofone of the oldest queer youth theaters in America, with our camera crew slipping into classrooms, kitchens, subways, and rehearsal rooms with this fearless and endearing troupe. Boston-based True Colors OUT Youth Theater transforms daily struggles into performance for social change. With wit, candor, and attitude, our cast of characters captivates audiences surprised to hear such stories in school settings. Our film introduces a transgender teenager kicked out of her house, a devout Christian challenging his church’s homophobia, and a girl who prefers to wear boys’ clothing even as she models dresses on the runway. When bombs explode outside their building, the troupe becomes even more determined to share their stories of love to help heal their city. This year is the first year they dare to talk about love. Brave, inspiring, and funny, these are the inspiring LGBT youth that are leading us into the future.
