Sixth Annual SGC Announced

Wednesday, April 21st, 2004

This year the sixth annual Southern Girls Convention will be held where it originated: Memphis, Tennessee. It will take place Thursday, August 12th through Saturday, August 14th at First Congregational Church, a progressive church in Memphis that offers organizing space to radical efforts such as ours. In the near future we’ll be accepting workshop applications and putting a general application up on the website, and we’ll put up more news and announcements explaining what we’ll be doing.

For more information, or if you have any questions, contact this year’s organizers. Spread the word! And watch this space for updates in early May!

To sign up to receive updates, or to meet and discuss with other Southern Girls Convention supporters and participants, you can sign up for our e-mail listservs.

Southern Girls Convention has been held in Memphis, Tennessee; Louisville, Kentucky; Auburn, Alabama; Athens, Georgia; and Asheville, North Carolina. The sixth annual Southern Girls Convention will be returning to Memphis from August 12-14, 2004. As in years past, we hope that SGC will provide a space to share skills, meet others working on the issues we care about, explore various issues affecting the South, and strategize on how to organize and make positive changes in our communities. Please, feel free to bring video projects, zines, writing, and anything you are interested in sharing to the convention. We hope to see you there!
