Rainbow United

Listen to this page
Rainbow United ( Formerly New Wave Rainbow Pride) is a self-advocacy group run by and for people in the Rainbow Community with intellectual disabilities and acquired brain injuries in Victoria.

 

We all get together online to fight for our rights, be in community, support and connect with each other. We like having fun, and we also go to pride events together in person.

We welcome adults with intellectual disabilities and acquired brain injuries from the Rainbow Community to join our group!

Come to one of our zoom meetings that we have every 2 weeks to see what we are all about

Please contact us if you have questions about our group!

We are each other’s Rainbow Family

Some of the things we do as a group are:

  • Go to LGBTIQA+ and self advocacy events
  • Provide peer support and information to each other
  • Support each to build our self advocacy skills and stand up for our rights.
  • Have a say in the local LGBTIQA+ community
  • Connect with other self advocacy groups and LGBTIQA+ groups, organisation and the wider rainbow community.

We welcome other people with intellectual disability and Acquired Brain Injury from the Rainbow Community in Gippsland to join our group!

Come to one of our zoom meetings that we have every 2 weeks to see what we are all about.
