Building the Kindred in Hard Times: April 23 SONG Event in Atlanta!

Building the Kindred in Hard Times: A QLGBT Gathering
SONG + Left Turn + Charis = Magic
SONG is a Southern LGBTQ organization that supports organizing across race, class, gender, culture, and sexuality. Our office has just moved to Atlanta, and it’s Spring, and we’re in a recession. What do those things have in common? 
It is a great time to talk about what it means to all of us to be in QLGBT community, and what we want community to be-what are strategies for surviving and thriving collectively? What do we need to have in our lives to be held in community and get all of our needs met?
This is also a gathering for SONG to partner with Charis Circle to celebrate the release of Left Turn Magazine issue #32, “Igniting the Kindred: Visions of Queer Radicalism.” This issue is full of the stories and ideas of Queer and Trans people on the Left. We are very proud that SONG members and Atlanta leaders wrote for this issue, and we want to celebrate them as writers, story-keepers, and historians of our communities.
You should come if:
· You want to learn more about SONG’s work and SONG’s presence in Atlanta (and you want to see the new, cute short SONG video, featuring ATL queers!)
· You are a meat-eater, vegetarian, or vegan and you want to eat a great dinner and talk about building transformative LGBTQ community!
· You want to read issue #32 of Left Turn Magazine, and learn more about Left Turn magazine
· You want to see more community organizing happen in the LGBTQ communities of Atlanta!
· You want to wear an exciting Queer outfit because it is Spring! (Spring is the Theme!)
