UPDATED: White Privilege Conference Registration and Hospitality

We invite you to attend the 14th annual White Privilege Conference (WPC14) to be held this year in Seattle April 10-13, at the Doubletree Inn near the airport.

This year's conference theme is "The Color of Money: Reclaiming Our Humanity." In keeping with Friends' clear guidance to seek the brightest light in each person and our centuries-old work of challenging racism and inequity, we ask you to join us in this invigorating, timely, and engaging opportunity to connect with others who share that same path. Through the leadership of Vanessa Julye, Friends General Conference (FGC) is coordinating Friends' presence at WPC14, including sponsoring a hospitality room where opportunities for gathering, discussion and worship will be offered. FGC has arranged for discounted registration fees. Use this link to pre-register with FGC in order to receive our great discount: http://www.fgcquaker.org/events/2013-white-privilege-conference-wpc14  Weencourage you to attend the conference, welcome Friends in the hospitality room, and/or--for those in the immediate Seattle area--to provide housing or transportation for Friends fromoutside Seattle.

Those willing to welcome, host, or provide transportation for visiting Friends should contact directly Merlin Rainwater at merlinrain@gmail.com or 206-769-6549 or Gillian Burlingham at gillianxb@gmail.com or 206-325-0152. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you at WPC14! Merlin and Gillian
