Greetings,

Sign Up For 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 .
