LGBT AAPI's Convening in Seattle, Aug 14-16

Thu, 02/12/2009 - 11:02

Building on past national convenings, the National Queer Asian Pacific Islander Alliance (NQAPIA), a federation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Asian American, South Asian, and Pacific Islander (API) organizations, is planning a national activist convening in August 14-16, 2009 in Seattle, WA. We hope to acquire and expand the aptitude, ability, and achievements of LGBT APIs, break barriers, and connect community so that we can build the capacity of local groups, invigorate grassroots organizing, train leaders, and challenge homophobia, racism, and anti-immigrant bias.
