Southern Girls Convention 2008 * Gainesville, Florida
The Southern Girls Convention is an annual grassroots meeting for networking, organizing, educating, agitating, and activism, devoted to empowering women, girls, and transfolks in the South, and to furthering the struggle for social justice. Each year’s convention is hosted by a different Southern community and facilitated by local organizers. Past conventions have brought together hundreds of folks in Memphis, Tennessee; Louisville, Kentucky; Auburn, Alabama; Athens, Georgia; Asheville, North Carolina; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; and Tallahassee, Florida. This year, Southern Girls Convention invites activists from across the country to meet in Gainesville, Florida in July of 2008. Hundreds of activists will meet for a weekend of discussion, action, and entertainment devoted to building a feminist community in the South. Gainesville badly needs feminists who are interested in helping organize the 2008 convention.
