Had an amazing discussion with the EngSoc team about advocacy work on campus and the importance of creating safe spaces for QTBIPOC students to come together for support and healing. Thanks for showcasing EngiQueers <3

The violent killings of Black people and Black trans people is a crisis that we must be loud and vocal about. Our oppressive society has silenced and devalued Black people and EngiQueers must acknowledge the role we play in dismantling systemic anti-Black racism. We want to thank Queen's Black Academic Society for spearheading the call to action on Queen's Campus. EngiQueers will be donating $100 divided between the Go Fund Me created by Elijah McClain's family and the Toront...o based organization Black Queer Youth (SOY). Black Queer Youth is a weekly drop-in center that aims to celebrate Black queer and trans people and help them connect with afro-centric wellness supports. Moving forward, our mission of celebrating LGBTQ+ identified engineers must be purposefully intersectional. As an organization, we must always be working on creating spaces where Black queer and Black trans lives are uplifted and protected. It is not enough for us to simply denounce racism, we must be actively fighting against anti-Black and anti-indigenous racism on a local and global level. We must call out the erasure of Black queerness in the LGBTQ+ community and that starts by looking internally as a club. Tony McDade, Nina Pop, Dominique Fells, Riah Milton and Tete Gulley are the names of only a small number of the beautiful transformative Black trans lives we have lost. We must work to honour them, fight for them and remind people that the killing of Black trans lives is an epidemic. Swipe to find mental health resources for the Black community.
