Community!

March 12, 2011 Race and the Queer Community
Jane Addams Hull House
800 S. Halsted St.
10:00am-4:00pm
Cost: FREE but space is limited so please register at http://jointheimpactchicago.com

Join the Impact Chicago is excited to invite you to attend a free one-
day conference on issues surrounding race and the LGBT/Queer
community. The historic Jane Addams Hull House is a landmark in social
reform movements, and JTIC is proud to uphold that tradition with Race
and the Queer Community.

Historians, professors, community activists, grassroots organizers,
and students will share their expertise and experiences. There will be
ample time for discussion, and we need your voice to be heard. From a
panel of youth activists on the immigration movement, to a discussion
with Johari Jabir, to a presentation on Bayard Rustin by renowned
historian John D'Emilio, and much more, there will be plenty to talk
about.

While the topic is serious, we also have a fun break built into the
day. The lunch hour will feature spoken word, music and drag. It's a
perfect time to relax and network with groups from around the city.

Racial justice, LGBTQ equality, and immigration reform are too often
seen as separate struggles, and are too often fought on separate
fronts. In a city as large and segregated as Chicago, opportunities to
share our missions with each other are too rare. This conference is
tremendous opportunity to learn more about the history and
circumstances of racism that face the LGBT/Queer community. It's a day
to learn, think, discuss, and unite across divides.

Space is limited, so please register for FREE at http://jointheimpactchicago.com
