This year’s conference honors the people who built this movement, and the people continuing to carry it forward. For generations, survivors, advocates, organizers, and community members have created safety, support, and change together. Their lived experience, knowledge, and care have shaped this work from the very beginning. Join us for two days of connection, learning, and envisioning what’s possible when we build safety, healing, and belonging together.

Carrying It Forward: Practices for Belonging, Storytelling, and Movement Memory

Tuesday September 29, 2026 1:30pm - 3:00pm PDT

Belonging doesn't happen by accident—it grows through the stories we tell, the relationships we nurture, and the practices we choose together.

Whether you helped create the Living Lineage Project on Day One or are experiencing it for the first time, this workshop invites you to add your voice to the collective story while exploring practical ways to strengthen connection within your own organization and community.

Together we'll discover simple, adaptable practices that help welcome new advocates, preserve movement wisdom, deepen relationships, and cultivate cultures where people feel seen, valued, and inspired to continue this work for the long haul.
