National LGBTQ Task Force • Creating Change 2025

“

Kierra’s Welcome Colleagues, friends, chosen family, and newcomers to the Task Force and Creating Change—welcome!

My heart is full as we gather here in Las Vegas. This space is a true homecoming, a community hub built with care, love, and purpose. The magic of Creating Change thrives because of the dedication of our staff, volunteers, and extraordinary Ambassadors, who have poured their passion and energy into this gathering.

The power of this space comes from you—your presence, vision, and the vital parts of yourself that this moment demands. It is your energy and commitment that make these halls come alive. Together, we ignite our collective power, guiding us forward in solidarity and joy.

Creating Change was born in the 1980s, a time of crisis when our community fought for survival amidst the AIDS epidemic, government indifference, and the widespread dehumanization of our people. The directive from the 1987 National March on Washington was clear: “Go home and get to work.” And so, we did.

The first Creating Change Conference in 1988 brought together 300 people. Today, nearly 3,500 of us gather, reflecting our movement’s growth and power. This expansion underscores our impact and collective resolve.

The urgency that gave birth to Creating Change persists. As we convene in 2025, just days after the inauguration of a second Trump administration, the stakes feel immense. Trans rights, reproductive justice, immigration, and even basic freedoms are under relentless attack. The challenges may evolve, but our fight for survival remains critical.

The far-right’s scapegoating of our trans siblings is more than a political tactic—it’s a deliberate assault on our community’s heart.

Despite the anger and fear this provokes, I see the immense power within each of you and the unstoppable force we become together. Our radical joy and refusal to be confined are undeniable strengths.

Why are they so obsessed with us? (Cue Mariah Carey.) Because as queer people, we hold the key to collective freedom and true liberation—a truth that shakes the foundation of authoritarianism.

Their fear doesn’t belong to us—it’s theirs. They know their reign is crumbling, and we are dismantling it. Our growing movement and unwavering resolve drive this change. We reject hopelessness. In this space, we aren’t preparing for four bleak years—we’re rewriting the story. Here, we map our refusal to be erased.

Let Creating Change be your spark. Every act of resistance, every moment of joy this week builds our unstoppable momentum. Use this space to craft plans, strategies, and connections that will propel us toward liberation. Together, we will thrive and boldly step into the light.

This year’s Creating Change, our largest ever, underscores our commitment to liberation and the understanding that we cannot face these challenges alone. As you strategize, remember the states are today’s battlegrounds where oppressive policies threaten our freedoms.

Let’s plan, celebrate, learn, and connect. Take what you need—joy, strategy, healing, determination. Seek out voices you haven’t heard and communities you haven’t yet connected with. Listen. Act. We are here to weave a bigger “we.” Whoever you think your people are, that circle is bigger. Find them, listen, and organize together.

Build the platforms our communities need to share stories, advance knowledge, and achieve liberation.

What we create here must extend beyond this space. It must ripple into state legislatures, city councils, and local communities. Our collective power, unified strategy, and solidarity are the keys to prevailing against these threats.

The power of Creating Change doesn’t stay in Las Vegas. It travels with us in the connections we forge, the insights we gain, and the strategies we craft. These ripples will reach far beyond this room.

Let this week remind us who we are and what we can achieve. Being here, with all our experiences, brilliance, and beauty, is exactly what we need.

The world is watching, and we are ready. Find what fuels you, take it home, and let’s create change.

Let’s get to work.

CONFERENCE POLICIES

Your Badge, Your Welcome Pass We’re thrilled to have you at Creating Change 2025! Your badge is your all-access pass to workshops, plenaries, and evening events— it’s also a great way to help others greet you by name. Please wear your badge at all times.

Lost yours? No worries—you can replace it at Check-In for a $5 fee. Save yourself the hassle and wear your badge proudly!

Protests and Political Expression Political expression is an essential principle of democracy and in our LGBTQ+ movement for freedom, justice, and equality. We all must value the power of dialogue and nonviolent protest as essential to our movement. If you wish to organize a protest, we ask you to follow these guidelines: •

Protests on the plenary stage should be brief (up to 5 minutes) to honor the voices of invited speakers, as they are often the most marginalized and silenced in society.

•

Protests within the hotel must be nonviolent “moving protests” to comply with fire codes.

That is, all participants must not impede the movements of others through hallways nor block doorways.

•

If you’re planning a protest, please inform Conference Director Fernando Z. López at flopez@thetaskforce.org and designate a contact person.

Creando Cambio 2025 • El Task Force Nacional LGBTQ

By balancing freedom of expression with respect for the conference experience, we create a space where all voices can be heard.

Keep in mind that hotels are not public spaces.

The Rio Casino, Hotel, and Conference Center can report any protest to local law enforcement at their discretion.

Policy Violations We’re here to build community, and that means creating a safe, welcoming space for everyone.

Behavior that disrupts the conference or makes others feel unsafe may result in being asked to leave.

No Guns, No Exceptions Creating Change is a weapon-free zone. For everyone’s comfort and safety, we ask that no guns or dangerous items be brought into our spaces. If a weapon is observed, you will be asked to remove it from the premises.

Task Force Values All participants at Creating Change are expected to uphold the National LGBTQ Task Force’s values of inclusion and oppose all forms of prejudice and hate, including but not limited to racism, sexism, ableism and transphobia.

Thank you for helping us make Creating Change a positive and empowering experience for all.

More information about our Conference Policies can be found at creatingchange.org/policies/. #CreandoCambio

RADICAL WELCOME We’re so excited to gather with you for this extraordinary conference!

Creating Change is a unique space filled with love, curiosity, and respect for our diverse LGBTQ family. Together, we celebrate our differences—across race, class, geography, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, and more.

Thank you for joining us to learn, connect, and help build a stronger, more inclusive movement.

Practicing Radical Welcome Our community thrives when we all contribute to a welcoming, inclusive environment. Be mindful of accessibility by making space for those who need it and supporting language justice by slowing down and being patient.

Reflect on your privilege—intentionally recognize how much space you take up and find ways to create space for others.

Consent is essential, whether you’re building friendships or romantic connections. Practice respect in all interactions. And remember, wellness matters! Protect yourself and others by washing your hands, covering your mouth when you cough, and respecting boundaries around personal space and sharing food.

#WeAreCreatingChange

Welcoming Transgender, Gender Nonconforming, and Non-Binary Community Members!

Creating Change is a space where all genders are affirmed. Here’s how we can create a truly inclusive environment: •

Pronouns: Don’t assume someone’s gender—ask, “What pronouns do you use?” If you make a mistake, correct it and move on. Use the names and pronouns people share with you, and remember that someone’s gender expression may differ from the last time you saw them.

•

Bathrooms: Gender-inclusive restrooms are available for everyone’s comfort and safety.

Please let people use the bathroom they choose without interference—everyone deserves privacy and respect.

Thank you for helping us foster a space where all LGBTQ people and allies feel safe, valued, and celebrated! To learn more about practicing Radical Welcome, visit our website at creatingchange.org/policies/.

National LGBTQ Task Force • Creating Change 2025

A POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT Hate Speech Is Not Welcome Creating Change is a space for free expression, but hate speech will not be tolerated. Hate speech includes abusive language and threatening writings that are intended to cause harm by targeting someone’s race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, or another characteristic. Let’s respect one another and avoid language that disempowers others.

Need Help?

If you experience harassment, violence, or hate speech, or feel unsafe, contact the Conference Director, Fernando Z. López, at flopez@thetaskforce.org.

You are part of a space dedicated to learning, connecting, and building a stronger movement in a welcoming and respectful atmosphere. Let’s work together to create a positive, inclusive experience for everyone.

Guiding Principles At Creating Change, we uphold two fundamental principles: human rights and solidarity. All forms of violence, including harassment, bullying, and bigotry, undermine these principles and have no place here. Even unintended actions can cause harm, so let’s be mindful of our words and behaviors.

We’re here to support you and ensure everyone feels safe, comfortable, and celebrated. We all participate in Creating a Positive Environment, so feel free to revisit or share this information from our website at creatingchange.org/ policies/.

What Is Sexual Harassment?

Sexual harassment is a form of discrimination and active violence. It includes: • Unwanted flirtations, advances, or sexual comments • Offensive images, messages, or gestures • Non-consensual touching or physical contact • Sexual pressure or threats • Sexual assault or violence Consent is essential in all interactions. If you’re thinking about connecting with someone, ensure expectations are clear, mutual, and safe.

CREATING ACCESSIBLITY By attending, you are part of our collective commitment to ensure all attendees feel welcome and supported. Together, we can create a space that values and respects the experiences of people with disabilities. Here’s how you can help: DO: • Ask Before Helping: Always ask and wait for a response before offering assistance. What may seem helpful to you might not be to someone else.

• Be Patient: Some attendees may communicate or process information differently. Respect their pace and explore alternative communication methods, like writing or gestures, if needed.

• Challenge Assumptions: Disabilities can be visible or invisible. Support everyone’s right to use accommodations without judgment or questioning.

• Respect Boundaries: Listen to personal experiences when they are shared but avoid intrusive questions about someone’s disability.

DON’T: • Assume Everyone Experiences Disability the Same Way: Disabled people’s lives are not inherently inspirational or pitiable; disabilities are a natural part of their identities.

• Criticize or Question Accommodations: Trust that people know what they need to navigate the event.

• Rely Solely on One Form of Communication: Flexibility ensures better connection and understanding.

#WeAreCreatingChange

Accessibility Support For questions, concerns, or assistance, visit the Accessibility Desk at the Conference Resource Center in the Rotunda. You can also text or call the Accessibility Hotline (8am–8pm) at 909-300-5378 or email Mark Maddox at MMaddox@thetaskforce.org.

Ongoing Accessibility Efforts Over the past seven years, we’ve enhanced accessibility by: • Providing mobility devices like scooters and e-readers.

• Offering ASL and Spanish interpretation.

• Selecting venues committed to accessibility.

Language Justice Language justice is about creating multilingual spaces that amplify everyone’s voice, dismantle language barriers, and promote equity. We’re dedicated to fostering spaces where diverse languages and cultures are embraced as essential to social and racial justice.

Note on Terminology Erase “hearing impaired” from your vocabulary.

Instead, acknowledge Deaf and hard-of-hearing identities respectfully. And please, don’t start by asking if someone reads lips—it’s a quick way to alienate a Deaf attendee.

Thank you for contributing to a welcoming and accessible Creating Change experience! For more resources, visit our Accessibility page at creatingchange.org/accessibility/.

DAY-LONG INSTITUTES WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 22

Racial Justice Institutes 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM Indigenous Day Long Institute: Rooted in Resistance, Power & Love Open to all. Attendees of this day-long institute will have an opportunity for LGBTQ+ Indigenous, Indigiqueer, and Two Spirit people to share their experiences and cultural importance with the broader LGBTQ+ community and would-be allies.

Participants will learn, grow, and cultivate cultural humility. Topics of interest include Two Spirit history and allyship, Two Spirit identity, mental health and creativity, decolonizing desire, and a youth and elders panel. Euro settler descendants will yield to the Indigenous narrative.

Too often colonial settlers have spoken for Two Spirit people. Our voices have been silenced in the past. Two Spirit people have reclaimed our narratives and speak for ourselves in these sessions. As Indigenous people, we are taught that listening is the way to learn. This institute will provide settlers the opportunity to listen and to learn so that by knowing who we are, respect will emerge. In this way, we can all create authentic change.

The Creating Change Indigenous Leadership Planning Committee recognizes the term Indigenous includes people of many nations, including those outside of Turtle Island or what is called the United States, North, Central, and South America. Presenters in this daylong institute mostly reflect those from North “American” territories and are the gathered knowledge of the individual, and it is not to be understood as a copy/paste culture for all Indigenous lives.

#WeAreCreatingChange

More Than One: Exploring, Engaging and Being in our Biracial/Multiracial/ Mixed Race Identity This session explores the experiences of people who identify as biracial, multiracial, or mixed-race and the beautiful complexity that accompanies us. We will engage in discussions and activities about the joys and challenges of holding multiple race identities. Through personal reflection and dialogue, we will create space for kinship, healing, and liberation and offer tools to navigate communities in our wholeness.

NBJC’s Black Institute: Charting A New Way Forward Together The Black and LGBTQ+ communities are the most loyal progressive voting block in the U.S. We have the receipts! #BlackFacts. Now is the time for our community to strengthen our skills, expand our knowledge, and deepen our support base to ensure all of us get and remain free – despite the hardships we soon face from the MAGA Movement. NBJC’s Black Institute theme, “Charting A New Way Forward Together,” is designed to ensure the movements for racial equity and LGBTQ+ equity center Black people and intersectionality so we can become more connected and more collaborative in our work to defend and expand democracy and advance equity despite the MAGA of it all.

National LGBTQ Task Force • Creating Change 2025

DAY-LONG INSTITUTES The institute will include a landscape analysis and future forecasting from Black LGBTQ+/ SGL movement leaders and advocates and provide opportunities for deeper connections, skills training, and resource sharing. Speakers will facilitate dreaming and discussion of Black futures, including strategies to develop and advance equity-anchored, pro-Black, pro-LGBTQ, pro-democracy legislation and practices that improve life outcomes and opportunities for Black people, including Black LGBTQ+/SGL people and those we know and love.

Sacred Reckonings: People of Faith & White Settler-Colonizers Doing the Work of Reparations Join our multifaith space for the deeply liberative and spiritual work of repair as we determine specific and concrete suggestions for reparations for individuals, families, and spiritual communities. Open to all, this session assumes a primarily White audience as it is up to White settler-colonizers to intentionally undo the violence of White and Christian supremacy in the United States.

The Pasifika Institute This day-long Institute seeks to shift the emphasis of creating change from a decolonizing perspective to one that reindigenizes shared spaces, fostering cultural understanding of the complexities of Pasifika Indigenous identities, providing agency for Pasifika people in their cultural identities, and strengthening community resiliency. The Pasifika Institute will hold space for Pasifika 2SLGBTQIA+ and MVPFAFF+ community leaders and advocates from across the country and Oceania to reflect, rest, resist, and reinvigorate their commitment to our shared liberation.

DAY-LONG INSTITUTES THURSDAY, JANUARY 23

Day-Long Institutes – Day 2 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM Act Out! Young People Fight Back Against LGBTQ Attacks Attacks on trans and queer youth at the state, local, and school board levels are endangering LGBTQ+ young people. But young people are fighting back! Led by youth activists and Advocates for Youth staff, this institute is designed to support young people ages 13-24 with all levels of organizing experiences to learn about policies, gain organizing tools, and build a network of young LGBTQ+ activists. We’re ready to ACT OUT! for equality, justice, and safety!

Advancing Sex Workers’ Rights: A Day of Learning and Action This full-day institute will immerse participants in the history, goals, and strategies of the sex workers’ rights movement through interactive exercises exploring intersectionality and collective liberation. Attendees will engage in group discussions to develop strategies for advancing policies that prioritize the safety and rights of sex workers, alongside an overview of the funding landscape for advocacy. By the end of the workshop, participants will gain actionable knowledge on policy priorities, allyship practices, and resources to support sex worker advocacy in their communities.

#WeAreCreatingChange

Digital Strategy Training Institute At the fourteenth annual Digital Strategy Training Institute, you will spend a day engaging with experts about the latest digital tools and online advocacy strategies that you can incorporate into your work. You will discover the latest new media trends, be trained on rapid response tactics, and learn how to implement accessible brands and web design.

Lastly, through open discussion, we will help each other develop creative solutions to the challenges your organization is facing today.

Executive Director and CEO Institute The Institute is for people who serve as executive directors or chief executives of nonprofit organizations only. (Board chairs of volunteer-only orgs are welcome to attend, but no other exceptions will be allowed.)

The purpose is to create a brave space for organizational leaders to gain peer support, share resources, and discuss opportunities for collaboration within the movement. The agenda for the Institute will be designed in real-time with the participants in the room to ensure the day is responsive to attendees’ needs.

Living, Learning, and Growing Across Generations In a world where inclusivity, empathy, and belonging are essential to collective well-being, it’s crucial to bring together LGBTQ+ people of all ages and backgrounds to create lasting social change. For decades, activists have fought tirelessly on the front lines, challenging LGBTQ+ discrimination and dismantling systemic racism. Now, more than ever, the power of intergenerational collaboration can strengthen our movement and reduce divisions—whether they be by age, identity, or experience.

DAY-LONG INSTITUTES

Movers, Shakers, & Good Troublemakers: Building Bi+ Unity and Positive Change In this year’s bi+ institute, we will explore the past, present, and future of bi+ identities and advocacy. We will review the data - such as it is - around the experiences of bi+ people and talk about the challenges we face in the LGBTQ+ movement and the broader culture. Participants will have the opportunity to connect around intersectional commonalities, including regional, sociocultural, and inhabited identities.

Queer Climate Justice Institute Drawing the connections between LGBTQIA2S+ liberation and the struggles for a safe, sustainable, and accessible planet are critical now more than ever. While the climate crisis produces chaos and uncertainty, queer and trans people are targeted and vulnerable to the environmental disasters and rightwing attacks.

Sex. HEAL. Action!

As attacks on sexuality and bodily autonomy continue to dominate the national stage, it is time to build a different relationship with our bodies, sex, and sexuality. “Sex, HEAL, Action!” is an interactive, activity-packed institute where you get to ask questions like, “Why do I fear my fantasies?” or “When did I learn to be ashamed of my desires?”

Creando Cambio 2025 • El Task Force Nacional LGBTQ

Southerners on New Ground (SONG): The South Got Something to Say! Southerners on New Ground (SONG) invites you back home. We are going to use this space to foster connections among queer and trans activists, organizers, and allies from the southern region to strengthen networks of support and collaboration.

The Faith Institute Queer and trans individuals hold a complex relationship with religion and spirituality. While many have found pain and rejection from theologies and institutions, others have sought to create a space for renewal and a sense of community. It’s essential to create a space that allows us to discuss these challenges while exchanging ideas, resources, and opportunities that can build on and sustain a larger movement.

The Fight for Our Lives: Building Queer Union Power to Fight Fascism Together!

We have fought all our lives for the right to be seen, heard, and employed with equality, dignity, and respect. And now the incoming Presidential administration has focused their sights on our LGBTQIA+ family. But by joining together in unions, workers upend the power imbalance between employees and CEOs, and the working class and billionaires.

DAY-LONG INSTITUTES SATURDAY, JANUARY 24

Day-Long Institutes – Day 4 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM Harnessing Our Power to End Political Violence: Backfire Institute Attacks, threats, and harassment of LGBTQIA+ people have always been a visceral tactic straight from the authoritarian playbook. The purpose of that political violence is always clear: those who incite, enable, and enact political violence aim to divide us, distract us, and keep us silent so that they can benefit politically and financially while our rights and freedoms are stripped away. Political violence has been on the rise, and we know that in the months ahead, the risk of political violence is greater than it’s

Creando Cambio 2025 • El Task Force Nacional LGBTQ

ever been. But together we are powerful, and we can end political violence. In this Institute, we’ll explore a tried-and-true framework for responding to political violence in ways that make it backfire on those that perpetrate it by imposing social, political, and economic costs, while supporting and strengthening those who are targeted and building the power of our movements. We’ll assess the current landscape, celebrate the ways that our communities have stayed safe and built power, build connections and plans, and awaken imagination about how to effectively respond to political violence in ways that build the possibility of the inclusive, people-powered, multi-racial democracy we need.

A Whole, New World 10 years of Responsive, Innovative, and Movement-Driven Mobilization Participatory Grantmaking Community representatives shape funding decisions across funds to facilitate discussions that foster a deeper dive into the national landscape, best practices, emerging innovations, and the experiences of those most impacted Rapid Response Funding We provide essential, flexible funding to address urgent crises, supporting underresourced BIPOC, queer, trans, and disabled communities during critical flashpoint moments like bail fund bans, protest suppression, natural disasters, and more.

Intersectional Funding We prioritize leadership from marginalized groups through initiatives like the Black Disabled Liberation Project and Disability x Tech Fund, which amplify and fund BIPOC, disabled, queer, and trans voices.

Grants for Healing and Joy Recognizing restoration and joy as essential elements to sustainability, our Funds also mobilize resources to support organizers themselves to foster community relationship-building and access collective life-affirming experiences.

Capacity-Building We strive to sustain and strengthen movements, ensuring equitable investment in those leading transformative change. Grantee-driven programs include leadership development, peer learning, technical support and more.

Queering Faith at Creating Change It’s more than a welcoming space.

We’re showing how queer liberation and religious pluralism are interconnected and strengthen each other.

Practice Spirit, Do Justice Practice Spirit, Do Justice is the faith track of Creating Change, offering workshops, caucuses, the Many Paths Gathering Space, the Faith Institute, and the Sunday Interfaith Service.

Faith Institute Queer and trans individuals hold a complex relationship with religion and spirituality. While many have experienced pain and rejection by theologies and institutions, others have sought to create a space for renewal and a sense of community. It's essential to create a space that allows us to discuss these challenges while exchanging ideas, resources, and opportunities that can build on and sustain a larger movement.

As activists, organizers, and people of diverse worldviews, we have skills for taking on the responsibility of supporting people through experiences of harm in the world and supporting people to clarify pathways for activism. The Faith Institute offers an opportunity to share our experiences and skills in an interfaith context.

Many Paths Gathering Space Amazon Q, R, S, & T The Many Paths Gathering Space is a welcoming, dedicated space for spiritual practice, ritual, reflection, support, connection, and breathing space, for conference-goers of any or no spiritual path. Stop by for spiritual practice, to chat with a Spiritual Care Team member, or to just take a quiet break from the conference. Scheduled offerings include: • Opening Night Christian Prayer Circle Wednesday, 7:00pm-7:30pm • Buddhist Meditation Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun, 8:15-8:45am • Muslim Jummah Gathering Friday, 12:00-1:30pm • Shabbat Service Friday, 5:30-7:00pm • Pagan Ancestor Circle Saturday, 1:30-2:15pm • Name/Gender/Pronoun Blessing Ritual Saturday, 3:15-4:15pm • Catholic Mass Saturday, 4:45-5:30pm • Ecumenical Christian Service Sunday, 9:00-10:15am All spiritual gatherings are open to all.
