Anti-Authoritarian People of Color Meetings at National Conference on Organized Resistance
The 11th Annual National Conference on Organized Resistance (NCOR) will be held March 7-9, 2008 in Washington, DC!
The National Conference of Organized Resistance is an annual event that brings together people from all backgrounds for three days of learning and discussing local and global social justice issues through workshops, panel discussions, skillshares and actions. NCOR is held on the main campus of American University in northwest Washington, DC.
It has been the interest of many anti-authoritarian / anarchist people of color (apoc) to hold at least two planned meetings during NCOR this year. The first meeting is planned for Saturday, March 8 from 11:10am - 12:40pm and the second meeting is planned for Sunday, March 9 from 12:50pm - 1:50pm (during lunch). Locations for these meetings are to be announced. These will be closed meetings for anarchist / anti-authoritarian people of color ONLY.
Possible items of discussion:
- networking and orginizing regionally (regional convergences)
- networking and organizing interregionally (interregional and general convergences)
- mass mobilizations and the presense of unified apoc at them (plans for apoc are to organize for the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Denver, CO)
- a possible general (interregional) apoc convergence in Denver, CO early summer 2008 for networking, organizing and preparing to take action at the DNC
(People of Color refers to those that are NOT white-skinned or Caucasian. People of Color can include, but is not limited to African, South American, Central American, American Indian, Caribbean, Southeastern Asian, Arab, Mediterranean, Indigenous Turtle Island and Aboriginal descent.)
