DARING TO BE POWERFUL in BROOKLYN!
Due to some uncontrollable circumstances, the Audre Lorde Project would like to announce the postponement of the Daring to Be Powerful weekend Training, initially scheduled on March 1st and 2nd, 2014. The new date of the training will be on March 15th-16th from 12pm-6pm. It will be at the same location at Brooklyn Community Pride Center. We sincerely apologize if this change might affect your participation or cause you any inconvinience.
The Audre Lorde Project aims to build both individual and collective power to better challenge the multiple oppressions faced by LGBTSTGNC people of color communities. This training program therefore allows for skills building, analysis of oppression, power & current issues, and offers opportunities for strategizing and additional investments in community organizing.

In memory and celebration of Audre Lorde’s 80th Birthday and to honor the legacy of work we have built together in our LGBTSTGNC Communities of Color in New York, we cordially invite you to an Audre Lorde's 80th Birthday Celebration!

Rainbows Are Just Refracted White Light:! DarkMatter Poetry Show & Open Mic
Join us for a queer South Asian spoken word artvention. We're not here to assimilate into your raceless classless gaystream umbrella-ella-ella honey gurl. We're building solidarity outside those refracted beams of white light we call rainbows. And renegotiating ways of loving our bodies. Come for an evening of poetry, discussion, and community. Decolonize / Queer / Repeat !
*** The show will begin with an opening mic featuring pieces by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, two-spirit, and gender non conforming people of color. Email alok@alp.org to sign up for the open mic. ***
The Politics of Desireability: A Community Discussion on (Online) Intimacy with LGBTSTGNC People of Color
What safety strategies to LGBTSTNGNC people of color take in navigating the online dating and hookup world in ways that do justice to our identities and politics? How do we negotiate racist, classist, transphobic, and other prejudiced economies of desire? How do we learn how to cultivate self-love and self-care in the context of these prejudiced beauty politics? Where do LGBTSTNGNC people meet one another to find intimacy and romance? More broadly -- how do our feelings of desire and sexuality relate to our movement work and participation? Do we recreate beauty hierarchies in our own communities? How can we better use online platforms to extend our community space?
