Security at CONvergence
CONvergence is dedicated to keeping our membership safe. We know many of our members have a poor relationship with the police and do not want them in our spaces. As such, we are partnering with Sequeerity, a Minneapolis-based security team, for CONvergence.
Sequeerity is owned and operated by queer and POC womxn with a goal of creating and maintaining safe spaces for everyone, especially the LGBTQIA+ community.
Safer Spaces, Protected Communities
CONvergence is attended by thousands of people, and it is inevitable that security issues will arise. While our volunteers in the Operations and First Advisors departments are trained to assist in many situations, they do not provide convention security services. Sequeerity is here to provide those services.
