About the AGMA Pride Caucus:
AGMA’s newest caucus is a member-led space created by and for 2SLGBTQIA+ and allied members of the Union. The AGMA Pride Caucus brings queer and allied members together in solidarity across geographical, cultural, and professional boundaries. We advocate for 2SLGBTQIA+ rights within AGMA signatories and the broader performing arts industry, with a special emphasis on urgently supporting and centering the needs of trans and non-binary members. The Caucus is committed to recognizing and addressing the distinct challenges our members face across work groups and regions nationwide.
