Session I: Saturday 9:00-10:30 am
ACTIVISM & POLITICS: "Coalition
Building and Grassroots Organizing: What and How"
The challenges of organizing around queer/lgbti
issues, considering the diversity and range of political views, may seem
insurmountable. We will be exploring how to conduct an effective
grassroots movement that embraces diversity and differences rather than
trying to create a queer "melting pot."
Presenters: Emily Nalven currently works in the University of
California Office of the President, but she has been a political
activist since she was five. Throughout her life she has organized for
workers’, women’s, and lgbt rights. Jonathan Winters is a former
co-chair of the UCLGBTA and a co-founder of ACT UP East Bay.
Room: UCen Santa Barbara Harbor
