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!)<br>
