Join us for a very special evening with Sassafrass Lowrey, editor of Kicked Out. In the U.S., 40% of homeless youth identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender or queer(LGBTQ). Kicked Out brings together the voices of
current and former homeless LGBTQ youth and tells the forgotten stories
of some of our nations most vulnerable citizens. Diverse contributors
share stories of survival and abuse with poignant accounts of the
sanctuary of community and the power of creating chosen families. Kicked Out highlights the nuanced perspectives of national
organizations such as The National Gay & Lesbian Task Force and The
National Alliance Against Homelessness and regional agencies, including
Sylvias Place, The Circus Project and Family Builders. This anthology,
introduced by Judy Shepard, gives voice to the voiceless and challenges
the stereotypical face of homelessness. To learn more, visit us online
