A-Infos (en) US, columbus, Call for Workshops! Confronting Racism: Building United Movements Ohio Conference

The Organize CBUS Collective is a network of students and community members in columbus, 
ohio formed to set up and facilitate the state-wide Confronting Racism: Building United 
Movements conference. The theme for the conference will be “Connecting the dots: racism 
and issues of global capitalism.” We envision a conference with workshops and 
action-oriented discussions exposing the interconnectedness of racism with issues of 
global capitalism affecting us locally such as: ---- affordable housing ---- employment 
justice ---- access to healthcare -- public transportation -- immigration -- environmental 
and food justice --- police brutality and prison abolition --- physical and sexual 
violence  --- queer & trans liberation --- indigenous solidarity --- militarism, and more.

This is an opportunity to examine our common ground within seemingly separate issues and 
develop a unified voice of resistance against global capitalism and imperialism as we 
continue building a collective liberation movement in Ohio. We are committed to building 
an anti-racist, anti-imperialist, multiracial, feminist, queer and trans liberationist, 
anti-authoritarian movement against global capitalism and promoting the understanding that 
there are multiple valid approaches to doing this work. Please come and let us hear your 
voice.

We are now accepting proposals for workshops that speak to our stated theme and that folks 
in Ohio might find particularly interesting. It is our goal that every workshop will end 
with a “call to action” please include your action items in your proposals.

You may email proposals to the conference email, OrganizeCBUS@googlegroups.com

Proposals are due no later than April 15th please!

Please keep your synopsis to under 200 words. Keep your bio to less than 100.

Our intention is adding this information is to provide people who come to the conference 
without a lot of experience on the subject matter informed as to exactly what they are 
getting into. Do not list your institutional accomplishments! We’re sure they’re great, 
but don’t see them as relevant here.

All Fields with (*) are required.
