ALMA's Annual Community Reception

The Annual Community Reception is ALMA Chicago’s signature celebration, a convening that uplifts the achievements, resilience, and leadership of the Latinx and LGBTQ+ communities in Illinois. Since its inception in 2022, the event has become a vital space for movement building, celebration, and strategic resource cultivation.

 

In an era where anti-LGBTQ+ legislation has surged 400% and Black, Latinx, Indigenous and other marginalized communities face mounting threats, ALMA’s Annual Community Reception is more than a party, it’s a declaration. A declaration that our communities not only survive, but thrive. That our stories deserve to be told, our leaders celebrated, and our futures invested in.
