[Wamvan] Fwd: Open House, Sex Trade & Social Justice, Fat Happiness and more...

Fri Jan 6 12:13:14 PST 2012

These look like all awesome events!

In addition to those named in the email subject, please also note there is
an introduction to anti-oppression workshop on Thursday Feb. 9th (1-3:30).

I do not know who is running it but it sounds like that would be a great
workshop for any WAMmers to attend if they are interested in delving deeper
into our anti-oppressive framework and learning exactly what that's all
about.
