Registration is now open for the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force's 19th Annual Creating Change™ Conference, which will be held in Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 8–12, 2006.

The Creating Change™ Conference is the LGBT movement's annual conference, attracting thousands of activist leaders from across the nation. The program educates, challenges and supports LGBT activists to build grassroots LGBT political power. Creating Change™ heads to the heartland this year to help build a movement in an increasingly LGBT-unfriendly area.
The conference will take place just after the November elections, giving the LGBT community a chance to reflect, plan and strategize for the coming year. No one should miss this opportunity!
The primary goal of the Creating Change™ Conference is to build LGBT political power. The schedule reflects this agenda, with scheduled plenary speakers and a program full of challenging and rigorous sessions, panel discussions, roundtables, film screenings, caucuses and networking sessions to deliver the skills needed for activist leaders to create change in their communities.

The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community from the ground up. We do this by training activists, organizing broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and by building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge. The Task Force is a 501(c)(3) corporation incorporated in Washington, D.C. Contributions to the Task Force are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
