As we expand Let’s Talk About Sex!, we aim to create a new format that meets attendees where they are. Rather than utilizing traditional workshops, we are creating levels designed to support attendees at their varying entry points to the movement. 

We are encouraging potential presenters to be co-creators with us as we collectively think outside of the box and shift the culture of conferences to a space where transformation happens. Most importantly, we are curating a space where people recommit or commit to making Reproductive Justice their movement home. 

We are looking for a variety of courses to showcase at each level with a focus on the following: 

• Youth Organizing
• Faith and Spirituality
• Policy
• Sexual Health
• Freedom and Pleasure
• LGBTQIA2S+ Liberation 
• Disability Justice
• Global Work
• Intersectional Organizing
• and Healing Justice

We seek interactive submissions that seek to shift culture, move people to action, foster healing, build cross-movement connections, and engage those who may not be in movement yet. To accomplish this, we are employing a level-based framework that enables learning no matter where an attendee is in their movement journey. 

These levels include: 

• Prerequisites are curated spaces that serve as pre-conference institutes the day before the conference begins. Space is limited to major sponsors and at the discretion of SisterSong’s leadership. 
• Introductions are sessions crafted with new organizers in mind. They are all about helping attendees understand issues at a beginner's level by allowing them to build a solid foundation for their organizing. 
• Intermediate sessions aim to explore topics more deeply, introducing more nuanced information that pushes attendees to stretch and build new organizing muscles. 
• Advanced sessions are where the seasoned leaders meet. These sessions engage in high-level thinking, organizing, and strategizing. 
• Elective sessions are where bodies move, and creativity is centered. Think twerking for liberation. 
• New School sessions seek to push our thinking to develop new ideas or theories. And just in case there are some who may not see themselves reflected in a University setting, this is a space for you to create a session to find your people. 

Whether this is your first conference, you’re looking to learn new skills, or you are a seasoned leader, there is a space for you!
