Jordan Johnson, of Equality New Mexico, talks in depth about issues around movement-based (as opposed to single-issue based) organizing, including particular challenges in connecting and building lasting relationships in a large, rural-based community. Tootles, a local LGBT union organizer, is a member of HAVOQ (Horizontal Alliance of Voraciously Organized Queers). She discussed the broad-based issues and organizations HAVOC works with to achieve multi-issued successes. Anita O’Shea (AKA DJ Durt) is a member of Radical Women and BACORR, the Bay Area Coalition For Our Reproductive Rights, speaks about her Socialist-Feminist approaches to activism, under the assumption that capitalism itself is the overriding barrier to furthering LGBT rights and liberation.
