Changing Same

Changing Same is compelling series of events designed to highlight the unique experiences of LGBTQ people of color and social justice work.

The Pride Center of the University Student Union, in collaboration with Deaf Studies, the CSUN Slam Poetry Team, Gamma Rho Lambda and The Black House, presents a week of special events that will challenge societal norms, celebrate intersectional identities and combat oppression.
