SUMMARY:Race Traitor Call Summer Series
DESCRIPTION:Calling all queer white Southern kin. Our ancestors designed this terror. Our cousins are the white vigilantes chasing and murdering Black people and fighting tooth-and-nail to extend this racist regime. As white Southerners\, it has been long past time for all of us to come off the sidelines in this moment and play our role. Join our call to build connection\, accountability\, and relationship with other SONG members so we can fight together. \nRSVP here for SONG’s Race Traitors summer call series for white members. These calls will take place from 6-8PM EST/5-7PM Central on the first Sunday of each month through the summer. Though this call is focused on holding conversations between white SONG members\, all SONG members are welcome to join.

SUMMARY:Black Member Huddle
DESCRIPTION:As uprisings sparked by the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis continue\, we see that this moment of rebellion has fed into the rekindling of the global movement for Black liberation. After centuries of abolitionist organizing\, the call to defund the police\, invest in communities\, and redefine public safety is a topic of household conversations. We are seeing our wildest dreams play out in real-time\, and we have radical Black leadership to thank for it. \nJoin us as we convene our Black SONG membership for a Black LGBTQ+ Liberation movement-building meeting. We will take a needs assessment of the resources and support our people need to keep ourselves safe and continue fighting and build out a strategy for a Black Queer August full of Black queer joy\, education\, agitation\, community-building\, and resistance. \nRSVP Here
