SUNY Social Justice Conference 2008

Dear Friends,
On Saturday, November 8th I will be co-facilitating a workshop with the very special Jasmin Singer at the first annual SUNY Social Justice Conference in Binghamton, New York.

Our workshop will discuss the intersections of oppression. We will specifically focus on how discrimination against women, homosexuals, people of color, and the poor is inextricably linked to human discrimination against animals. We will discuss the similarities in tactic, strategy, philosophy, and media that have been used to oppress each of these groups throughout history, and why we must address each of them if we are going to achieve meaningful progress for any of them.

If you would like to attend, the conference information can be found here. The food for the weekend will be provided by the Binghamton chapter of Food Not Bombs, and the keynote speaker is Howard Zinn. You may have heard of him.

I will post the outline here once it’s finished. I may even turn the outline into a brief paper and just post that for anyone interested in reading it.

This is a small conference being held by a very dedicated group of students. I would love to be able to get them as much support as possible.
