Organizing for LGBT Rights
The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Elkhart (UUFE) is
hosting an organizing training for LGBT civil rights on
Saturday, October 10th, 2009. Starting at 10:00 am,
''Organizing for LGBT Rights: Finding the Road in
Indiana'' aims to empower local citizens to engage in
the political process while achieving LGBT civil rights.
The training includes sessions on organizing in small towns
and rural areas, enacting local human rights ordinances, bias
crimes and bias crime laws, electoral politics, the legislative
process, how to interact with the public, and how to work with
communities of faith.
The workshop comes at a time that coincides with Indiana
Equality's Human Rights Ordinance Project efforts towards
amending local human rights ordinances to include sexual
orientation and gender identity.
Space is limited and interested parties must RSVP by October
4th. For questions or to RSVP, contact Pam Kramer at RN_Pamela@yahoo.com
