YOUTH ENGAGEMENT AND YOUTH LEADERSHIP
Youth political leadership is the norm, not the rule and yet young activists are treated like gimmicks. Through exploring historic and current examples of youth leadership, we’ll understand how young people can find their entry point into this work and what adults can do as allies to that work without eclipsing it.
THE STATE OF POLICING AND THE CASE FOR ABOLITION
How did mass incarceration and over policing proliferate in this way? What is the history of expanding the carceral state and what are the opportunities for eradicating it?
MOVING BEYOND ALLYSHIP
If we’re learning and growing, then we should be constantly asking ourselves how to be better allies. Whether to other racial groups or to those from other religious backgrounds (or lack thereof), we can always be doing more for those more marginalized than us and yet we tend to fall short. What should true allyship look like?

RACIAL AND GENDER JUSTICE
Intersectionality in practice isn’t the feel good slogan we think it is? It requires centering the most marginalized in a way that’s not intuitive to our normally self-centered society. What does intersectional feminism truly look like?
PEOPLE-POWERED MOVEMENT
Can encompass a wide range of issues under the umbrella of building progressive mass movements. What are the steps for more committed activists to building out campaigns that can take their work to the next level? How can we lean into populism to disrupt far-right agendas? How do we ensure our work is leader-full?
POLITICAL STORYTELLING
We live in a society and world full of silos and echo chambers. In order to truly effect change we have to pause from preaching to the choir and reach those who think of themselves as neutral or actively against progressive moments. Whether you’re trying to get out of the cycle of social media arguments, trying to convince family members, or trying to tell your own story, let’s break down the anatomy of political storytelling and take on new strategies.
BLACK LAND MATTERS
This country has always been happy to see Black people working the land but rarely if ever owning it. It’s impossible to understand the 21st century racial wealth gap without first un- packing the historic attacks on Indigenous and Black land ownership.
Land theft has been detrimental in creating and widening the racial wealth gap, privatizing natural resources, and creating a permanent barrier to land that should be a birthright for Black and Indigenous communities. In this session Brea Baker will provide a brief overview of the attack on Black ownership that spurred the Great Migration along with the current movement to reclaim that land led by Black farmers and Southerners.
