ATTENTION! ATTENTION! 

FIERCE is so excited to be at the National Conference on LGBT Equality: Creating Change in Houston, TX!  Be sure to check out our “Meet Me at the Crossroads” panel TONIGHT at 6:30pm CT/7:30pm EST where we’ll be releasing a new national report about LGBTQ youth organizing! The panel is coordinated with our comrades at Southerners on New Ground.  We’re thrilled to hear from longtime organizer, activist and Political Education Coordinator at SONG, Suzanne Pharr, from activist, accomplished filmmaker and Executive Director of the Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice, J. Bob Alotta and from FIERCE youth organizer and former National Program Fellow, Ana Conner. The panel will be moderated by FIERCE Co-Director, Dulani.  Together we’ll be discussing issues confronting invisibilized LGBTQ communities in the Rural South and LGBTQ youth of color nationally and talk about how grassroots organizing has always been and still is a force for visibility, empowerment and change! We’ll be streaming the panel live on our ustream, so bookmark http://www.ustream.tv/channel/fiercenyc and tune in TONIGHT at 6:30pm Central Time Zone (7:30pm Eastern Standard Time)! In addition to the panel, FIERCE will be hosting a Base-Building Workshop and LGBTQ Youth of Color Caucus on Saturday. Follow us @fiercenyc and #MoveUpFightBack.
