Anyone who is LGBTQ justice oriented and is interested in building grassroots power to make change! Every skill level of organizer is welcome, from new leaders who are interested in learning what organizing is, to experienced organizers who want to increase their skill level, or connect with other organizers in San Diego.

No! We’ll have two tracks at the Pride Power Summit. One for new folks who want to learn basic skills, and another track for folks who have some organizing experience, but want to increase their skill levels.

We recommend a ride-share, taxi, or public transportation if you’re able! 

 

The conference will take place in the Math and Social Sciences Building. 

There are twelve bus lines with stops near the city college campus. Lines 2, 5, 7, 12, 20, 110, 215, 225, 235, 280, 290, and 992 all have stops by SD City College. Three trolley lines, the Blue Line, Orange Line, and Silver Line all have stops near campus as well. The best way to find the bus or trolley line that works for you is using MTS’s Trip Planner. Information on how to pay fares on bus and trolley can be found here. 

 

The address to use in ride-shares or taxis: 

 

Driving: 

The Math and Social Sciences Building is at the intersection of C street and 16th Street. 

If coming from the North, I-5, I-805, and Highways 163 and 15 will get you to city college.

If coming from the East, I-94 and Highway 125 will get you to city college. 

If coming from the South, I-5 and I-805 will get you to city college.

 

Parking: 

Parking Lot 5 and the Parking Garage attached to the MS Building (access from 15th or 16th St) will be open for free parking for Organizing Institute attendees. Please see the campus map here.

Public transportation (MTS) is available via bus or trolley. While it may take longer than a car ride to get to your destination, public transportation is generally cheaper than other options (e.g. ride-shares or taxis). 

Attendees can use MTS’s Trip Planner tool to find their best routes. Information on how to pay fares on bus and trolley can be found here.

No, while we understand that virtual programming increases accessibility, the skills we’ll be developing and running training on require us to be in person and in community during the conference. Keynotes and speeches may be recorded and posted online after the conference, but the workshops and breakout sessions will be in person and not posted online. 

All workshops and their descriptions can be found here: https://sdpride.org/pps-workshops/

The health and safety of attendees is our highest priority. The conference planning team is currently working on solidifying our COVID protocols based on local, state, federal, and global health guidelines and best practices. In addition to guidance from public health officials, we will be aligning our conference protocols with principles of disability justice and accessibility.
