Our Mission:
We are looking to create a conference where we really begin to explore the issues connecting and dividing the transgender and feminist communities.We want to address the fears, myths, and misunderstandings that keep these movements from buliding coalitions. We want to hear lots of different voices, for there is no one definitive community that speaks for everyone.
Feel free to forward and crosspost!
The conference is 9am to 5pm on Saturday, May 8th on the campus of SUNY New Paltz in New Paltz, New York. Directions and info available at the website. It is free to all and includes a mid-day vegan friendly meal! Free housing options will also be made available for those in financial need. If you are interested in registering for the conference, please click on the registration link. Pre-Registration is key, so register soon!
