Pride: Know Your Rights PSA

Role: Creative Producer

Agency: JOAN Studios

Client: Queens Community House

For NYC Pride, JOAN Studios partnered with the Queens Community House to launch a Know Your Rights PSA for the NYC queer youth.

This series of videos is a place where students can learn about their rights and how they can advocate for themselves in and out of school.

We made sure to discuss local, state and federal laws protecting youth from discrimination, harassment and bullying based on sexual orientation, gender identity and expression.

SOCIAL CUTDOWNS

Generation Q is an LGBTQ+ youth program of Queens Community House, one of the borough's largest social service organizations. Generation Q is a friendly, affirming environment with a wide variety of educational and recreational opportunities, as well as social and emotional support.

This PSA is a tool that Generation Q will be utilizing in their trainings to extend their reach to schools across Queens and the greater NYC area supplemented with a toolkit and technical support provided by Generation Q staff.

Thanks to The Office for the Prevention of Hate Crimes for the funding to create this video, JOAN Studios/JOAN Creative (@Joancreative) in partnership with PANIC Studios (@Panicstudio) and Scriptwriter, Alex Powers (@alexmario_7)
