Hi all!
In case you haven't seen it on the NOLOSE website, we want to let you know
that applications are now being accepted for regional programming:

regional programming

(Affectionately known as "Small Projects Across the Land")

>> Application Deadline <http://www.nolose.org/spal/#app>: June 1, 2009 **<http://nolose.org/08/geleni_fontaine08.pdf>

NOLOSE is offering seed money of up to $1000 to support projects that expand
the reach of fat queer activism. 2007's SPAL projects included an inspired
Zine-making party in London, a fabulous Roller Skating party in
Philadelphia, and the very successful Fat & Queer mini-conference in New
York. We loved supporting those projects because they were creative, fun,
informative, and community-based.
Although we are looking for programming to strengthen the fat LGBTQ
community at the local level, we will also consider programming that
networks with other allied organizations. Want to co-sponsor something with
bears? Interested in planning a plus-sized clothing swap with your local
LGBTQ or NAAFA chapter? Send us a proposal!

you can get more info at www.nolose.org/spal

can't wait to see what you want to do!

*Transgender Voices & Visibility: “Naked on the Inside” **
April 11, 2009*

Long Island GLBT Community Center
34 Park Ave
Bay Shore, NY 11706

This Saturday April 11th the Long Island GLBT Community Center will have its
second Transgender Voices & Visibility series event from 7-10pm. We will be
watching the documentary “Naked on the Inside” which looks at the lives of
six individuals talking about their connection to their bodies. Included is
a transgender man who teaches Sunday School, a female artist surviving
breast cancer, a former model who dieted herself to heart failure, a large
woman who is a fat activist and synchronized swimmer, a former gang member
whose tattoos remind him of those he lost, and an internationally recognized
dancer who was born without legs. After the movie we will have a Q and A
with Lawrence Carter-Long the Director of Advocacy for the Disabilities
Network of NYC and the organizer of disTHIS! a monthly disabilities movie
festival in Manhattan.

$15 suggested donation (no one turned away)
