One Step Adelante is a program of One Step A La Vez that centers and amplifies the voices of youth of color, youth in the juvenile justice system, and LGBTQ+ youth, in order to create long term impact on the systems and policies directly impacting their lives. Youth determine the issue campaigns they would like to work on and learn and apply the tools of community organizing.
Active Campaigns
One Step youth work on various campaigns by engaging in many of the following activities:
Aimed at dismantling transphobia and educating the impact of heteronormativity.
Definitions: Heteronormativity is the belief that being heterosexual or being attracted to the opposite sex, is the natural and accepted sexual orientation (Source: SimplyPsychology.org)
Transphobia: irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against transgender people (Source: Merriam-Webster Dictionary)
The Impact: "Heteronormativity presumes heterosexuality is the “default” sexual orientation, thus erasing others’ sexual identity, and can lead people to misgender someone – such as referring to someone with the wrong pronouns." "This can harm LGBTQ+ individuals as it contributes to lacking human rights security and funds to support them and obliterates identity."
