About the Workshop:
Facebook is a popular social networking website with a massive user
base that can be used to unify the Deaf LGBT community and our allies, share
information, bring visibility to our organizations and help create
social change.  Among the things you’ll learn in this workshop
include information about the little-known tools that can help you
protect your privacy and how to use Facebook to network, raise
funds and promote your organization’s visibility.
