You Should Go: Me, You, and Everyone We Know at NYFLC Should See Each Other’s Faces!

Remember when I invited you all to come on out (pun intended) for this year’s National Young Feminist Leadership Conference? Me, too, even though it feels like it was eons ago. Were we ever so young? Was I ever so awake? Did I ever spend a day not swimming in to-do lists and conference planning meetings? Who knows. All I know is, we’re here, we’re queer, and we’re gonna smash the patriarchy together. But we might as well get a drink or some food or just a moment to appreciate our friendship together, too!

That’s why I’m organizing a meet-up during this year’s NYFLC for the Autostraddle readers who are attending the conference! And guess what, y’all? My coworker Nancy is gonna co-host with me because she’s queer, going to A-Camp, and extremely well-versed in the Autostraddle universe! Double your pleasure, double your fun, double the feminist killjoys drinking coffee to get through the day, amirite.

We’ll be meeting up at 7PM on Saturday night, one hour before our big ol’ dance party! (Spoiler Alert: There’s a dance party. Whether or not Drake will play is still being decided, but you know what team I’m on.) Just come down to the hotel lounge for some drinks, some food, and some new friends! (PS, if you’re not registered for the conference yet you can still get in! You’ll have to register at the door, though, because online registration is closed.)

It’s my honor and privilege to change the world alongside all of you. Also, your hair looks great today.
