Thursday, January 12th, 2012

Want to help raise money for allgo in a fun and active way? Consider joining Team allgo in the Hill Country Ride for AIDS!

ABOUT THE RIDE

Each year the Hill Country Ride for AIDS takes place in the Hill Country of Central Texas. This year on April 28th, 2012 riders from all over the state will convene to raise money and take part in this event.

The purpose of the ride is to give people a fun and active way to raise money for local non-profit organizations that do HIV/AIDS advocacy work. allgo is one of the many beneficiaries of the ride, so your participation helps sustain the work of allgo for queer people of color across the state of Texas.

We depend on the Ride funds to meet the needs of our constituents every day, as do nine other local non-profit organizations, and we all hope you will ride with us this year!

New this year: a TRAIL RUN! Don’t have a bike? Don’t want to ride? Come RUN! The Ride already has three times the number of riders as they did at this time last year. Join this community of kindness by riding, running, or volunteering!

Locating Ourselves Within Movement(s)

BOLD Gathering Teleconference: Locating Ourselves within Movement(s) by user5157065

Are we, as QTPOC, a strong arm of a bigger movement (such as the mainstream gay movement) or are we leading a movement of our own? At our national BOLD Gathering, we will talk about movements and organizing and leadership as the US population changes to majority people of color. How can we, as QTPOC people, affect the creation and direction of a movement that brings about the change for which we dream and work? What do we need to know?
Panelists: Lisa Weiner-Mahfuz, Malachi Larrabee-Garza

What is this Movement?

BOLD Gathering Teleconference: What Is This Movement Moment by user6393373

This moment we are in, when the world is undergoing great upheaval and change, offers great opportunities and challenges for us. Some examples of opportunities are the fast ways to communicate and connect through technology; an US that will soon be majority people of color; an increased interest in queer relationships and their place in society; people rising up around the world to claim their freedom. Some examples of challenges are the failed economy and the increase of unemployed and poor people; the attack on immigrants; the growth of the rightwing and the power it has found in the Tea Party; and tensions between and among communities of color. What’s our movement moment? What skills and understandings do we need to meet it?
Panelists: Trishala Deb, Kenyon Farrow
