Equality and Pride for Indo-Caribbeans (EPIC)
.png)
This is EPIC.
Launched on International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, (IDAHOTB) 2022, our organization initiative is dedicated for LGBTQ2S+ Indo-Caribbean people. Proudly presented by the Indo-Caribbean Canadian Association.
On a day established to take a stand against violence, hate, and discrimination directed toward people with diverse sexual orientations, gender identities, or expressions, we are proud to launch a standalone initiative by a Canadian Indo-Caribbean organization specifically dedicated to supporting a safe space for Indo-Caribbean LGBTQ2S+ community members.
Join us as we come together as allies and LGBTQ2S+ community members, to listen, share experiences, break down barriers, and celebrate love in all forms.
On National Coming Out Day (Oct 11) in 2023, EPIC released the first edition of A Coming Out Guide for Canada's Indo-Caribbean Community. A resource tool for queer and questioning individuals along with their loved ones. We encourage you to review this guide and share it.
If you are interested in volunteering with EPIC to help create a safe space for dialogue, build community, and inspire change, please click the volunteer button.
