I am going to a training to be a better community organizer all weekend at the Audre Lorde Project

[La Lioness Priyanka]

i could NOT be more excited!!!!

"Join the Audre Lorde Project for two days of skills-building and political discussions about power, privilege & oppression.

This training is for:
Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Two Spirit, Trans and Gender Non Conforming People of Color

*examine race, class, gender, police violence, transphobia & homophobia, immigration and health;
*develop creative strategies for fighting oppression;
*learn how to plan campaigns & actions;
*build facilitation and leadership skills; and
*share personal stories and learn about the journeys of others

Build both individual and collective power as a result of our training program! "


Yes, my ENTIRE weekend will be gone behind this but hopefully it will help me be better at organizing and possibly taking it up full time :woohoo:

1. I look forward to hearing what you take away from this training.

I'm registered for a similar training up in Maine for the end of April, through the Task Force.

It's exciting to see others also getting involved.
