Connect to Ignite

Connect to Ignite is a weekend long retreat for queer youth to build a network of revolutionaries that catalyze movement building and mobilize communities in the region to liberate our community.

Through art, media, skill-shares, workshops and performances we come together to share the creative and innovative ways youth are involved in to create justice and shape the world around them. Over the weekend retreat Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Allied (LGBTQA) youth will network, develop leadership skills and organize a state-wide network for youth by youth to support LGBTQA youth activism across the state. The Connect to Ignite Network is a growing force that works to tear down the walls of isolation, connecting youth to each other, uplifting youth voices and building community and movements for social justice.

Revolutionizing a Dream (RAD) Summit/Strong Families

The RAD summit is a national gathering of youth organizers that are doing local work on issues of race, gender, and sexuality. BSEEDZ is network member of the Strong Families coalition that connected groups working with young parents, LGTBQ young people, and young people in general. BSEEDZ is in the planning committee for the annual youth convening that brings together close to 100 young people to lead workshops about identity, culture shift, and community building.

Jessie Vive

Jessica Jessie Hernandez was a young and beautiful soul who was murdered by two officers of the Denver Police Department on January 26, 2015. Immediately following the incident BSEEDZ members began reaching out and connecting with people who were close to Jessie in order to channel our love and energy to the family during this most difficult time. As queer youth of color who shared many of the same identities with Jessie, we know well the experience of being profiled and criminalized for our identities. BSEEDZ commits to standing behind the family of Jessie Hernandez to honor their needs and process for seeking healing and justice by following their lead and offering support at every step. BSEEDZ held a youth-led vigil to remember Jessie at the scene of her death while some members delivered 20,000 petition signatures to the local FBI office of Denver. BSEEDZ continues attending and organizing community meetings against police violence and organizing direct support for the Jessie's family.
