On the Road to Educational Justice
2nd Annual Conference

April 25, 2009

Pacific Lutheran University (www.plu.edu <http://www.plu.edu/> )
Tacoma, WA

The second annual Advocacy, Activism and Action conference is on the
way!
The 2009 conference will provide attendees with a range of
opportunities to find their path to educational justice.  There will
be six interactive workshops this year, facilitated by leading
scholars and social justice activists in the Pacific Northwest.  The
workshops will focus on: advocacy, social justice, critical issues,
activism, frameworks, and new visions for the education system.  The
2009 conference will also feature two plenary sessions by some of the
most transformative leaders for social justice in the Pacific
Northwest. Attendees will have the opportunity to attend a film
screening of a documentary on social justice. In addition, the 2009
conference will include poster presentations that represent diverse
perspectives on educational justice and it will showcase an
interactive timeline that highlights milestones or key events in the
struggle for human rights.  At the close of the conference, attendees
will have an opportunity to synthesize the activities of the day and
chart their course for educational justice.

The goal for the 2009 conference is to build community and empower
ourselves to embark on the long road to educational justice.  This
conference is open to all members of the learning community.

NOTE: Clock hours will be available from Tacoma Public Schools.
