Hope you all can attend some/all of this amazing conference that is 
coordinated by Community Advocacy's own - Emily Rimmer, Director for 
Women's & Queer Services!  There are many workshops and speakers that 
reflect the intersectionalities and complexities of the communities we 
serve.  (And one more great reason to attend:  Lily Rodríguez, Community 
Advocacy Program Coordinator, is co-presenting a workshop!)
