gender neutral restrooms
After the passage of HB2, the 21C Museum Hotel in Durham released the following statement in support of LGBTQIA+ communities:
It is demoralizing that sanctioned discrimination could be a cause contemplated, let alone endorsed, by public officials elected to represent a diverse and complete constituency. We are proud that the vibrant city of Durham is home to 21c Museum Hotel, and we humbly stand with fellow North Carolinians who petition the repeal of House Bill 2.
The 21C Museum Hotel has gender-neutral restrooms throughout the hotel for our participants including single-stall restrooms with Everyone All Ways signs.
covid-19
Our commitment to health and accessibility includes the provision of masks, COVID-19 tests for participants as they arrive to the Encuentro, and inquiries about vaccination status.
All conference attendees must be vaccinated or present a COVID-19 negative test prior to the start of the Encuentro.
