SONG Cunty Country Fair Regional Membership Call
2021-09-27 18:00 - 20:00
Hot Queer Summer is coming to an end and as mornings get chillier and pumpkins scents fill the air, we invite you to join us on Monday, September 27th, 6-8pm ET/5-7pm CT for our SONG Regional Membership Call: Cunty Country Fair. Cum one, cum all!
The SONG Cuntry fair is in town for all SONG members, longtime and new. This call will be a time to connect with SONG’s rowdy, queer Southern members and our Forever SONG fam. As a region we will take time to skill up together, and dig into our political histories to shape our future. We’ll be mapping our political landscape with the lens of where we are in the South. During the call we will have various “carnival rides”(breakout groups) where we will dig into some different topics such as: our campaign assessment, conflict transformation, and base building. Hope to see you at the Cunty Country fair!
