Pride: Out Loud! presents Alicja Sienkiewicz

Join us for an inspiring talk with Alicja Sienkiewicz (she/her), a fearless Polish activist and organizer of Pride events! ✊✨

Alicja rose to prominence as she led the fight against the widespread declaration of ‘LGBT Free Zones’ in Poland, a situation that captured global attention in 2019. With her unwavering spirit, at just 18 years old, she organized her city's first Pride event amid significant opposition, including threats to her safety. 💪❤️

Her relentless activism brought to light the struggles faced by the LGBTQIA+ community, especially in regions declared as ‘LGBT Free Zones’. Despite the challenges, Alicja traveled extensively to promote Pride in these marginalized areas, becoming a symbol of hope and resistance.

Fast forward to today, the European Court has deemed these zones illegal, marking a significant victory for the LGBTQIA+ movement. Alicja, now happily married to the love of her life, will share her remarkable journey, the evolution of Pride in Poland, and her vision for a brighter future for LGBTQIA+ individuals in rural communities. 🌟

Don't miss this chance to hear an empowering story of courage and love! 💖
