Time to register for Creating Change

WASHINGTON — Registration is now under way for the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force's 18th Annual Creating Change Conference, which will be held in Oakland, Calif. from Nov. 9-13. LGBT activists and allies are encouraged to attend.
The Creating Change Conference, sponsored and hosted by NGLTF, is the LGBT rights movement's annual skills-building conference which is attended by thousands of human-rights activists nationwide. The program educates, challenges and supports LGBT activists and has a special focus on assisting community organizations to build a more racially representative movement.
The 2005 schedule boasts accomplished plenary speakers including bisexual activist Loraine Hutchins, Juba Kalamka (a.k.a. Pointfivefag), a founding member of the "homohop" group Deep Dickollective and Urvashi Vaid, an attorney, writer activist and former NGLTF executive director.
In addition, the conference program is full of sessions, panel discussions, roundtables, film screenings, caucuses and networking sessions that deliver the skills needed for activist leaders to create change in their communities. For details, visit http://www.creatingchange.org. The early bird registration rate is available until Aug. 31. Attendees 16 and under and 65 and over will be admitted for free.
