Lime Connect is hosting community groups for our Network Members, and we are excited to have you join us! These monthly groups will be a space for members to share and connect, and an opportunity to build community with other Lime Network Members who share similar life experiences.
The LGBTQIA2S+ Community Group meets on the second Thursday of each month at 8pm ET. The second meeting is scheduled for February 10th at 8pm ET and new members are encouraged to join! This month’s discussion will focus on what it means to have multiple identities, particularly for people of color with disabilities who are also LGBTQIA2S+. Everyone has a unique experience of their intersecting identities, and this month’s meeting will be a space to share that experience together.
The Veterans Community Group is for Network Members who are military service veterans, and meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 6pm ET. The next meeting is scheduled for February 8th at 6pm ET.
