Dare to Care
Tucson Community Coalition

Thank You!

Our DARE TO CARE events were successful measured by the hundreds of participants hosted by St Francis.


 
 

“Community Leader Event” was facilitated by Pastor Jim Wiltbank and Rev. Meredith Joubert.


Seven professional panelists discussed their experiences as LGBTQIA advocates and
activists for Tucson families.

In case you couldn’t attend, two meaningful events were held:


 “Queering Faith: Reclaiming Spaces for LGBTQIA+ Teens, young adults and allies” was highlighted by J.J. Warren, our keynote speaker. Inspiring presenters shared personal stories of their journeys and addressed important questions focusing on safe places where LGBTQIA could be themselves without retribution, without rejection, and without fear or harm.
