SONG came out of conversations of Black and white southern lesbian leaders in 1993, each a long time activist on a broad range of issues, addressing deep concerns about the gains of the far right based on vicious divide and conquer tactics, particularly along fault lines of race, class and sexuality. They also expressed their hopes for helping build a broad social justice and civil rights movement where people and issues were connected and activists could bring their full selves to the organizing work.<\/p>\n<p>SONG currently works to build, connect, and sustain those of us in the South who believe in liberation across all lines of race, class, culture, gender and sexuality, thru a 600 membership of primarily LGBT people. Our core work is around our Traveling Organizing School and campouts, retreats, and outreach that connect \u2018the Kindred\u2019 (those who share the dream of SONG) to each other.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTHERE IS NO LIBERATION IN ISOLATION.\u201d -AUDRE LORDE<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Building, Connecting, and Amplifying Southern LGBTQ Organizing for Liberation Linked with Mandy Carter &#8211; USA.
