DESCRIPTION:West Coast Diversity Summit -\nGLBT and Community Safety\n  \nSaturday July 
 21, 2007\n12 PM & 6 PM\nSacramento, California \n\nAfter a period of 
 relative safety, recent events have shown a sudden growth of intolerance 
 towards members of minority communities, particularly the LGBT community.   
 The last few years have seen a steady honing of homophobic and racist 
 messages emanating from a growing number of radical groups.  The result of 
 this intolerance was the death of Satendar Singh, a young man brutally 
 killed during the Independence Day Holiday in a suspected hate 
 crime.\n\nThe years of safety we enjoyed allowed our community resources to 
 be forgotten and networks to atrophy.   Today we must rebuild, remember, 
 and not tolerate a single person being harmed simply because of any 
 particular group they may belong to.   \n\n12 PM – 3 PM \n\nDissemination 
 of information: Discovery of community resources, defining common goals, 
 and statements from individuals and organizations responding to the recent 
 escalation in hate crimes.  Organizations will present on various topics, 
 opinions, and offer resources we have for the greater community to share.  
 \n\n   \n\n3 PM – 6 PM \n\nBreak and networking.\n\n \n6 PM – 9 
 PM\n\nSocial reception and work session:  Develop methods for community 
 networking of resources, community statements, and action plans for this 
 and other issues facing our common communities.\n\nThe location will be 
 finalized and will be in  Midtown Sacramento.\n\nThe West Coast Diversity 
 Summit  is open to all diverse communities, organizations and 
 individuals.\n\nIf you would like to attend please R.S.V.P. to 
 meeting@outsacramento.com with a name, organization affiliation, contact 
 information, and number of guests.  If you would like to speak at the 12 PM 
 session, please include a short summary of content to be presented, and 
 length of time needed.  Walk-ins will be seated based upon space
