Casting Opportunity, deadline May 18 9 am

Jigsaw Casting is seeking 2SLGBTQ+ community members and allies for an IKEA Pride Campaign in Vancouver!

This is a campaign for IKEA Pride. We are seeking a diverse group of individuals who are passionate about 2SLGBTQ+ rights: people from different ethnic backgrounds, ages, body types, abilities and identities—all are welcome. This campaign strives to give a platform to queer marginalized voices to speak to issues they care about, and to show off the positive side of activism and life as a 2SLGBTQ+ person. Here is a reference of last year’s IKEA pride campaign: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkISKJwW9fI
