With the ongoing public health crisis & current safety regulations The National LGBTQ Task Force has announced that the 33rd Creating Change Conference will be a completely virtual event from January 27th to January 31st 2021. Andy Garcia, Director of Creating Change stated, “We are disappointed we will be unable to gather in person, one of the most powerful elements of Creating Change, but the Task Force is committed to planning a virtual experience that is diverse, accessible & addresses the many issues facing LGBTQ+ communities. We are reaching out to the Creating Change family & convening a virtual host committee. We will do our best to provide an experience that closely resembles what we’ve all come to expect from Creating Change. There are, of course, some things we won't be able to replicate online, but we will also be able to include experiences & activities we’ve never been able to before. A virtual Creating Change Conference also means we will be accessible to many more participants, including many who may have wanted to join us in person but have been unable to for various reasons.” The current vision for the Creating Change Conference is an online pre-event in the fall followed by a multi-day online experience in January 2021. The goal of the Task Force staff & partner organizations is to create an exceptionally engaging, accessible & relevant conference experience that promotes the values of the Task Force, as well as the work of their staff & partner organizations across the movement. Also
tentatively planned is a Queering Racial Justice Institute on October 10th.
