Emancipation

Liberation and Solidarity: unleashing the power of emancipation The LGBT movement started with a promise: emacipation - for queer people, but also for the society as a whole. Emancipation, liberation and solidarity -- what does that mean in 2006? And who is left out by our activism? Will solidarity with other emancipatory movements (eg. feminism, immigrant rights movement) be the biggest challenge for us in the 21 th century, but also our most promising vision? This workshop aims to connect our current political work to the vision of emancipation and find ways to make this a strong and empowering tool for our activism. No lectures, much discussion!
