SUMMARY:Liberation Summer Organizers' Bootcamp
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready to win freedom for yourself\, your family\, and your communities? Come find your kinfolk with Embark Sustainability\, SFPIRG\, and Organizing for Change for two days of learning\, sharing\, networking\, and skill building. Register now to join us July 17-18 for Liberation Summer at SFU Harbour Centre and 312 Main. \nAs we build our collective power in response to the urgency of ongoing global crisis\, moments of reflection and connection are crucial in strategizing to realize the change we want\, need\, and deserve in the world today. It’s vital to lift each other up in this fight and collaborate on our tactics together in real-time. Whether you are a seasoned activist or new to the game\, enrolled student or lifelong learner\, employed in an environmental organization or aspiring to work in the sector someday soon\, all are welcome\, and we know we are strongest when we harness the diversity of our networks. \nFrom July 17-18\, we will be building intentional space for both emerging and veteran organizers to come together and strategize our next steps at the intersections of climate justice\, disability justice\, abolition\, Indigenous sovereignty\, poverty reduction\, and racial justice. Participants in Liberation Summer will leave better motivated and equipped to actively work toward climate justice sustained by their community and comrades. \nWhat can you expect from us? \n\nRelationship Building\nIntergenerational exchanges of knowledge\nMulti-sensory workshops & activities\nStrategies for building sustainable movements\nResources for getting involved in local climate and social justice movements\n\nIf you have any questions or support needs\, please email programs@embarksustainability.org. In the meantime\, remember: “Another world is not only possible\, she is on her way; on a quiet day\, I can hear her breathing.” ~ Arundhati Roy \nACKNOWLEDGMENTS \nThis event takes place on the unceded homelands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)\, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish)\, səlil̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh)\, and kʷikʷəƛw̓əm (Kwikwetlem) Nations. \nCOMMUNITY AGREEMENT \nBy registering to attend this event\, you are agreeing to be respectful when listening to and communicating with others\, and be mindful of the space you are taking up amongst your peers.
