More Audre Lorde

Effective immediately, ZAMI will no longer award scholarships.

The breakfast was founded in 2002 to provide attendees the opportunity to connect before joining the Martin Luther King Jr. March, educate communities about the life and contributions of Bayard Rustin, Audre Lorde and other activists, and enhance mutual support and continued learning among those involved in social justice efforts.

The 9th annual Atlanta Bayard Rustin-Audre Lorde Breakfast will feature a conversation among veteran gay and lesbian organizers about black lgbtq organizing in Atlanta in the 80's and 90's. Participants will also learn about challenges facing Georgia's AIDS Drug Assistance Program, proposed anti-bullying legislation and how they can engage in local advocacy efforts. For more information about the Bayard Rustin-Audre Lorde Breakfast, please contact Craig at craig.washington@aidatlanta.org or at 404.870.7760.

The breakfast is free and open to all. Donations are encouraged. Breakfast sponsors include St. Marks United Methodist Church, Radial Café, AID Atlanta, Atlanta Black LGBT Coalition, EM Designs Group, Starbucks, Georgia Equality and Georgia Safe Schools Coalition.

STATE REP SIMONE BELL HD 58, GA's first openly lesbian black state legislator will speak at this year's rally representing LGBTQ communities!!! The MLK Rally, near the MLK Center for Non-Violent Social Change, immediately follows the March.
