Organizations wishing to cross-list events with QWOC+ Boston can send a ‘short’ summary (including date and location) to events @ qwocboston dot org. We will only post events on our website that meet at least TWO of the following criteria:

  • Overtly intended primarily for people of color
  • Planned/hosted by queer people of color
  • Features (i.e. speaker, presenters, artists etc.) at least 50% people of color
  • Plannned/hosted by an organization that has at least 50% of its members identifying as people of color

Event Posting Decision Examples

  • Race in the Workplace: A Community Discussion *YES*
  • Gay Rights Fundraiser by a progressive organization that is ‘open to all’ (and we really want QWOC to come!) *NO*

Note: This strict policy about posting events is based on the fact that there are a good number of queer event calendars in the Greater Boston area that provide listings for all kinds of events. There are none specifically for queer people of color.
