Reclaiming Common Ground: A Cross Border Social Justice Conference
NWTSJ is excited to share this upcoming event for educators. From the organizers at http://crossborderconference.weebly.com:
We are excited to have Naomi Klein and Seth Klein as our keynote speakers, a rare opportunity!
We are pleased to invite you to register for our conference. Recent history in the US and Canada records multiple attacks on public education in many forms. Public education as a common space, the foundation of a democratic society, has lost ground over the past 10 years. It’s time to reclaim the space that’s been lost to the voices of hate, bigotry and neoliberalism. It’s time for teachers to re-engage in their important role in the process of social transformation.
Teachers from British Columbia, Oregon, and Washington will come together to connect across borders in the face of common threats.
We have just picked most of our workshops and will post the roster on our website next week. We would still like workshop submissions on feminism, undocumented students (border issues), and environmentalism, if there are activists among you who would like to submit. Please visit our event website for details and to submit proposals.
