Hi,
I visited the LGBTI+ group from Curitiba (Grupo Dignidade) and we
talked about how they can help us for DC19. They suggested a lot of
options below.
1. People can send questions direct to them using the form availabe on
the website:
http://www.grupodignidade.org.br/contato/
2. People can also send the questions to us (DC19 local team) and we
will forward to them.
3. In general, when they organise events/meeting here (like Diversity
Parade LBGTI,in 2018 was 40k attendees) they warn to the City Guard
and Emergency Care Units (ECUs). Both are previously knowing and if
something bad happens and you need help in a hurry, they can help
faster. They can do that for DC19.
4. They offered organise a day for DC19 attendees visit the Grupo
Dignidade Office, we need to confirm if people would like to visit the
place (It is near the venue).
5. They are available visit the venue to meet the Debian Diversity
group during DC19.
6. They can wait to close the office later during the DC19, and
release the phone number in case of emergency they can help.
7. They have a LGBTI+ communication manual and we can distribute it
during DC19, they are working on the translation to English. The
Portuguese version in available here:

So, we need to define how we would like to work with them. What do you
(all) think is the better approach?
