LEARN MORE MONEY SAVING IDEAS FOR COV4! HOTEL BONUS! The Transgender Law Center is hosting their National Summit in THE SAME hotel during the SAME weekend as Color of Violence (!)-- AND so is the Black Women's Expo-- a Chicago centered conference that celebrates the lives of Black Women. So this location is going to be extra full of critical fabulousness! The conference committee originally planned to hold the conference at the University of Illinois, Chicago, but due to the boycott of the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign, and the potential impact the boycott has over the entire U of I system as the situation unfolds, we decided to move the conference. (More details & analysis on this soon.) This hotel is currently union-approved! |
