Created by Roma People and dedicated to Roma People, Roma Heartbeat centers our voices, experiences and expressions, organizing a space to reflect on the intersections between queerness, gender, social class and culture, while encouraging solidarity. We want to organize the second edition in December, dedicated to the commemoration of forced evictions.
