Bastard Nation's 4th Annual Conference:
"Bastards on the Brick Road"
September 8-10, 2000
Aljoya Conference Center, Seattle, Washington
Take a trip to the Emerald City and
join us in an adoptee rights activist adventure
full of brains, heart and courage! Bastard Nation,
the leading advocate for adoptee rights, will hold
its fourth annual conference, "Bastards on the Brick
Road," on September 8-10, 2000, at the Aljoya
Conference Center in Seattle, Washington.
Keynoting will be journalist Adam
Pertman, who will present a talk entitled, "Opening
records, opening eyes: How the adoption revolution
is transforming America." Mr. Pertman is a regular
journalist for The Boston Globe on adoption and
family-related news, an adoptive father of two,
and author of the upcoming book, "Adoption
Nation."
"Bastards on the Brick Road" will
be a symposium focusing on team-building, outreach
strategies, and development of leadership skills.
It will be open to all who wish to build upon their
activist experiences. Presentations and workshops
will focus on the wide array of skillsets essential
to activists: public relations, organizing within
local adoption communities, drafting ballot initiatives,
and lobbying legislators.
Those most directly responsible for
the adoptee rights victories in Oregon and Alabama
will be present to discuss their experiences and
answer your questions.
