Dear OLOC friends and supporters,
When I was in my 30's and a lusty, Lesbian feminist activist, I rarely thought about what my 60's would look like. My writing, editing, social activism, and girlfriends filled my days with a sense of purpose. They also gave me a sense of family, and, to me, that was everything.
I got that sense of family again at the OLOC 2014 National Gathering in Oakland. I shared the stage with some of the most exciting storytellers in our community, then got to share lunch and lobby conversations and elevator chats with even more storytellers – the members of OLOC.
Finding that group of Lesbians who can share memories and a sense of social change is just as important at age 60 or 70 or 80 as it was at 30. OLOC, with your (tax-exempt) support, can continue to be that place where we find each other, hear our stories, and continue to organize for change.
All my best,
Dorothy Allison, 1949
