Notes

"A camp where LGBTQ youth create music, discover themselves, and have fun."
"By empowering Southern queer youth and building community through music and the arts, QORDS is a vehicle for expressing gender and sexuality, and harbors an environment of self-discovery and social change."
"We are committed to promoting the creativity, affirmation, leadership, abundance and voices of Southern queer youth. We recognize that gender and sexuality are multidimensional concepts that intersect with issues including, but not limited to: institutions, race, class, heritage, ability, documentation status, language, or spirituality. We aim to cultivate intersectional spaces and claim music and arts as a vehicle of queer empowerment."

Notes

"The NAACP is a newcomer to Transylvania County, but not at all to the struggle. Our organization has fought for justice against racism in all forms and for equality nationwide since 1909. The Transylvania County branch was founded in 2014 with the mission of adding to the cause of racial equality its commitment to equality for all: voters, women, students, the LGBT community, immigrants, workers, taxpayers, those in need of health care and all people of color. We are also working for environmental justice on the state and national levels, particularly in the Duke Power Coal Ash spills that have polluted groundwater and rivers in North Carolina and in preventing fracking."
Issues include: Criminal Justice; Economic Justice; Environmental Justice; Immigrant Rights; LGBT Rights; Medicaid Expansion; Public Education; Voting Rights; Women's Rights.
