Can I Get a Witness

WEBINAR TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT, YOU CAN STILL PURCHASE LIVE CHAT TICKETS UNTIL 10PM PST TONIGHT

!!! TICKET SALES END AT 10PM PST FRIDAY AUGUST 7TH !!!

We’re at a crossroads, gender non-conforming people face increasing pressure to pick a side and conform to regressive gender norms. This conference will explore what it means to be gender non-conforming today, how non-conforming people face pressure to alter their bodies or change their identities, and the ways women’s achievements and protections are at risk by misguided efforts to redefine the meaning of sex. Among our speakers is a gender non-conforming gay man, a lesbian film maker, medical professionals, and activists from around the globe. Join us for this marathon 13–hour long conference and dive into how enforcing gender norms affects you!

Each speaker session is about 30-45 minutes long. (View the program with schedule details here). You can pop in and out of the conference throughout the day, taking breaks to mingle (virtually) with other attendees, just like at a conference with a physical location. We’ve created attendee chat rooms so you can connect with other people questioning gender ideology. Make new friends, share your story, ask questions. (Note: To watch the conference and chat on Discord at the same time you'll  need a laptop or desktop computer (or two handheld devices) as Zoom and Discord can't both be open on a smartphone at the same time).

Topics include: embracing the body you have, supporting gender non-conforming children, feminist film-makers on backlash due to their female-centric projects, threats to the future of women’s sports, and women making their own spaces in the digital age

Tickets for Conference: $20 early bird price (ending 7/31)/$30 regular price (ticket sales end on August 7th at 10pm PST)

Tickets for Live chat: $5

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Availability of streaming on other platforms: Although the entire event will be recorded, it will not be until later in the fall of 2020 that a channel will be created of the same name - Can I Get A Witness - that will house clips of the event. When they do, there will be a minor paywall attached for rental. NOTE: Due to contractual arrangements, there are a few *surprises* that can ONLY be seen during the LIVE BROADCAST that will not appear anywhere online later.

For viewers in Europe/UK: We realize that this event will start up as you are likely getting ready for dinner! So very sorry but what we can suggest is the following: grab your laptop, tablet or whatever, a blanket, some snacks and get cozy! You're in for an all-nighter! It's Saturday after all and unless you had to work, experiencing this one-of-a-kind *firsts* will bring a smile to you all day Sunday!
