This week I talked with Mayra Hidalgo Salazar, Deputy Executive Director of the National LGBTQ Task Force about their upcoming events including the 34th Creating Change Conference entitled “Reunite Reignite” that will now take place virtually in 2022 with dates TBA. The Creating Change Conference is the foremost political leadership & skills-building conference for the LGBTQ social justice movement. Since 1988 Creating Change has created networking opportunities & inspiration for thousands of committed people to develop & hone their activist skills. With the continual impact of COVID-19 & now the omicron variant cases Creating Change family will prepare for a new & different online conference experience. Danny Linden, Creating Change Conference Director stated, “We will announce what programming will look like for Creating Change 2022 & beyond as soon as possible. We are grateful to all of the attendees, participants & sponsors for their understanding as we transition to a virtual experience & the opportunity to bring Creating Change to an even larger audience.” Non-binary writer, performer & public speaker ALOK will be the keynote speaker & new this year there will be a program focused exclusively on queering climate justice as well as a conference schedule with many online workshops & caucuses. I talked to Mayra before Creating Change went online about what she hopes to accomplish at the National LGBTQ Task Force in the next few years & her spin on our LGBTQ issues. LISTEN
