Creating Change – Black Institute

The National Black Justice Coalition will host our annual signature event, The Black Institute, a Black-led and -centered space for Black LGBTQ+/Same-Gender Loving leaders, and emerging leaders nationwide, that will inform, train, inspire, and mobilize our community ahead of the 2024 primary and general election.

The theme for this year’s institute is “Owning Our Power,” in honor of NBJC’s 20 years of building, leveraging, and speaking truth to power on behalf of the Black LGBTQ+/SGL community. Attendees will spend the day sharing and learning new skills, resources, and information to own their collective, communal, and personal power effectively.

WHEN: Thursday, January 18th | 10:30 am CT to 4:30 pm CT

WHERE: Hilton Riverside New Orleans | Two Poydras Street, New Orleans, LA 70130
