We Got Next!: Change Got Obama Elected, Now It's Our Turn
Obama is the messiah!
Change? Nothing ever changes.
I can do anything if I put my mind to it!
Come join us for another Provocative Discussion with the S.O.S.
Collective. We are a group of LGBTSTGNC People of Color interested in challenging violence that affects our communities.
Let?s talk about how we can harness the power of the political hype from Pres. Obama?s ?Change? campaign and use it for our own struggles for community safety.
Meet some new people, hug your old friends, engage in provocative discussions, participate in drawing exercises and organize against violence in our LGBTSTGNC communities of color.
This event is open to everyone!

Join the Audre Lorde Project, Sunday at 2pm, at the Vigil: United Against Hate.
Neighborhoods like Bushwick are routinely subjected to police brutality. Therefore we believe that it is ultimately the community's responsibility to ensure that tragedies like this never occur. We recognize the power of community members to challenge the root causes of violence. Therefore we call on all community members to organize for education, transformation, and healing.
Vigil: United Against Hate!
In response to Bushwick Hate Crime Committed Against the Sucuzhanay Brothers
When: Sunday December 14, 2008 at 2pm
Where: At Make the Road's Community Park (Corner of Grove Street and Myrtle Ave.) *We will march to the corner where the incidents happened (Corner of Bushwick Ave. and Kossuth Place.)
How to get there: Take the L train or the M train to Myrtle-Wycoff Ave
We are counting on your support: Let's fight against Hate Crimes as One Community!
