It's a Law's a Drag cabaret! Learn about recent changes to hate crime laws, watch stellar drag performances, and empower your community!
This year, changes to the law will mean that crimes driven by hostility towards disabled people, sexual minorities, and trans people, will be treated as "aggravated offences" and given tougher penalties. What does this mean for you? What's good about these changes - and what needs to be done to improve things further? Watch some amazing drag performances, join in the Q&A with our legal experts, and learn how we can use drag, law, and education to turn the tide against a rise in violent hate crime offences.
Hate Crimes LIVE!! is an 18+ event that celebrates a diverse array of artists: we kindly ask all our attendees to be respectful of each other and our performers. Accessibility information including content warnings and additional guidance will be available on the night.
If you have questions for the Q&A, about the hate crime legislation and how it could affect you or people you know, you can use this anonymous form: https://forms.gle/E6TunUx6xuMq7EZs6
