Join us for Sex Ed vs. Project 2025, a critical and timely event aimed at building community and strategy in the face of ongoing attacks on trans and queer people, comprehensive sex education, and reproductive autonomy.  

 

With Project 2025 and other extremist movements pushing policies rooted in white supremacy, transantagonism, and reproductive control, this event creates space for educators, organizers, and advocates to strategize, resist, and reimagine the future of sex education.

 

Founded by Steph Zapata, S.L.A.M. is committed to honest truth-telling in sexuality education. This event builds upon that mission by centering the voices of those directly impacted by systemic oppression—uplifting BIPOC, queer, and trans leaders in reproductive justice and sex education.
