Wear It Purple and City of Sydney present this free online event to celebrate Wear It Purple Day in 2021. 

Young rainbow people and their supporters are invited to join host Clementine Ford and a fantastic panel including Grace Hyland, Meissa Mason, Zoe Terakes and Casey Conway. 

This is a great opportunity to hear about what's important to our LGBTIQ young people and how we can keep the conversation going to support them.

We aim to deliver inclusive and accessible events. This event will be Auslan interpreted. If you have any  access or communication needs please phone Pip Ditzell on 02 9265 9333 by Monday 23 August.
