Hi all,
on 25th March at 6pm we're holding a community forum to discuss the 'Wear it with Pride' campaign and the legal reforms brought in by the Fed Govt. there have been 85 changes to Fed law over the term of the Rudd govt. that affects the GLBT community. The forum aims to inform our local GLBTI community of those changes as they affect our lives in many ways.
Some of us will know a few of these changes, the ones especially that have been given a lot of publicity, like changes to Centrelink payments etc but many of the reforms we don't really know about and they can affect us now and into our future.
So we are encouraging all of our community to attend. There will be a press release sent out soon (hopefully no later than tomorrow) to inform local media.
Pls pass this message on to yr members and thru yr networks....we wont' be able to hold this forum elsewhere as funds don't allow for that so pls encourage people to attend from down south too if they are able. There is a website on the campaign and for those who can't attend I would encourage u to look up the site. It's connected to ACON's website or just google wear it with pride
Hope to see yu on 25th here at ACON Illawarra for an informative night with lots of interesting discussion!
cheers
