These powerful women are leading the charge in what is arguably the most effective, organized, impactful and galvanizing social justice movement of our time. Moderated by the Harvey Milk Club’s own Mahnani Clay, the panel will discuss the movement’s origins, goals, demands, actions and next steps with a focus on what the queer community can do to join this historic movement.
To help us facilitate the dialogue, we are asking folks to submit questions for the panelists to president@milkclub.org by January 19th. There will also be time for live Q&A during the event.
This panel discussion is part of the Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club’s monthly General Membership Meeting. It is open to the public. Regular Club business will be conducted from 7-7:30pm and the panel discussion will follow.
Members in good standing will be able to vote for the 2015 Executive Board from 7-9pm.
