Trans' And Womyn's Action Camp 2009

"Trans’ and Womyn’s Action Camp (TWAC) 2009 is a gathering of eco-activists, who are also working to bring down patriarchy. Come out for a 6 day training, workshop, and action event in the Cascadia bio-region, same location as the Round River Rondezvous 09, from June 20th-26th, 2009.

This will be a safe(r) space where transgendered, intersexed, genderqueer, androgynous and womyn identified folk will be able to share skills in an empowering environment. We will be exploring the land before all the RRR attendees arrive, and we will also be providing skillshares on how to help set up large camps for gatherings. There will also be tons of other workshops and trainings on many diverse issues- central theme here- FUN!

We are now putting out a call for workshop presenters, trainers, and organizing volunteers! If you are transgendered, intersexed, genderqueer, androgynous and womyn identified and would like to get involved in the organizing, or would like to give a workshop, please get in touch! There are also support roles that are available for gender-privileged folks.
