Los Angeles Coffeetalk: GQR has been faithfully sponsoring this monthly genderqueer safe haven every month since 2002. Since 2002! This community resource has served many, many people and by its sheer existence changed the landscape of the gender community locally in Los Angeles as well as beyond. In order for us to focus on other exciting projects and developments, we're putting the Los Angeles Coffeetalks on a short hiatus. During this time we would like to invite interested facilitators to write us at info@genderqueerrevolution.org so that this vital and important presence continues to thrive.

Total Wellness!: Some of those projects include the Total Wellness! health series, educating mental and medical health providers, university administrators and faculty, organizations, businesses, and other community partners about health and wellness. Total Wellness! also provides community members opportunities for spiritual renewal, information and knowledge for self and others advocacy, and world change through fun events throughout the nation.

Continuing Collaboration: We of GenderQueer Revolution are in the process of planning for the next 16-18 months. We are continuing to develop partnerships and relationships and innovating radical, world-changing ideas and events. GenderQueer Revolution also wants to continue collaborating and working together with individuals, community groups, community organizations, and other members of the gender and queer families in bringing exciting events and programs to showcase our fabulous diversity, allow for mutual encouragement, and make the world a better place for all, through the strength of the trans, gender, queer, and allied communities.
A United ENDA: GenderQueer Revolution, together with countless trans/gender/queer and allied organizations, joined the United ENDA campaign. Visit www.unitedenda.org for updates and action items. Discrimination against the L, G, B, T, I, Q, and genderqueer/gender-gifted individuals and communities all ultimately stems from gender stereotypes and existing systemic and cultural assumptions and rules around gender presentation, roles, and rights. This affects EVERYONE, and to exclude anyone hurts us all.
Expansion: We of the board are also continually working together with and reaching out to the trans, queer, genderqueer/gender-fabulous/gender-gifted communities across the nation, the East Coast and Midwest, for example. We are also expanding the board - stay tuned. Look for even more social events, artistic events, workshops, opportunities for service, and more, sponsored by GenderQueer Revolution and other organizations.

In solidarity,

GenderQueer Revolution Executive Board
