Alt Summit fully supports the Black Lives Matter protests and we invite our community members to participate or support the efforts in any way they can. March. Protest. Donate. Buy from Black-owned Businesses and Creators. Amplify. Fundraise. Read. Learn. Discuss. Alt Summit will support your efforts by amplifying the work — both the creative work and activism work — of Black women in our community.
Alt Summit is committed to making our conference a place where Black women feel welcome; a place where they are given a stage and a microphone to share their message, and a safe place to learn, teach, and collaborate. We promise to continue our efforts to learn and improve. Black Lives Matter. The Black women in our community matter.
