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. Please visit the  <http://we4sj.org/conferenceregistration.html>
