Jacobs) Subject: NGLTF MOVEMENT BUILDING INSTITUTE IN KC & DENVER MOVEMENT BUILDING INSTITUTES: TOWARDS A MORE JUST SOCIETY IN THE U.S. Kansas City, MO, April 29-May 1, 1994 HRP, Co-Sponsor Kansas City Marriott (Downtown) Denver, CO May 13-15, 1994 Equality Colorado, Co-Sponsor Ramada Inn, Denver PRESENTED BY: THE NATIONAL GAY & LESBIAN TASK FORCE POLICY INSTITUTE, FIGHT THE RIGHT PROJECT +==============================+ The National Gay & Lesbian Task Force Fight the Right Project is hosting two very special "movement-building institutes." The Institutes are designed for organizers and activists who want to build a stronger movement and more compassionate communities while combating the growing influence of the radical right-wing in American politics and community life. The Institutes will give us the opportunity to take stock of how we are meeting the challenges presented by the radical right-wing and will allow us to assess what the impact the right-wing has had on our social change work and our communities. The Institutes will also be a time to talk about our aspirations, strategies and plans for action. These Institutes will help us to take the offensive, turning right-wing attacks into opportunities for building stronger and more resilient relationships and alliances among justice-seeking people. +======================================+ WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Activists and organizers who have stepped forward to take leadership in local and state projects to resist the right-wing, whether in the arena of ballot initiatives or legislation or community organizing; organizers who are leading efforts to work with people different from themselves or who wish to do so; activists who are creating multicultural and multiracial political organizations in the communities or who wish to do so. Activists and organizers from Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Arkansas are encouraged to attend the Kansas City Movement Building Institute. Activists and organizers from Colorado, Wyoming, Utah. Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico are encouraged to attend the Denver Movement Building Institute.
