Full Description: 

QUEER PEOPLE’S ASSEMBLY – USSF – DETROIT
The 12 members of the Astraea Foundation’s Movement Building Program will host a four-hour session to discuss resolutions that have been submitted from LGBTIQ People’s Movement Assemblies that have been held throughout the country leading up to the USSF.

The goals of this meeting will be to

1. Identify and discuss the major issues that have arisen from queer-focused PMAs;
2. Work toward a strong resolution (or resolutions) of direction for a national strategy.

The meeting will be limited to representatives of those groups who have held queer-focused PMAs and have placed their resolutions on the USSF website.

PMA resolutions must be placed on the USSF website by May 15, 2010.
