Against Patriarchy 2007 (May 4-6)


I am writing from the 2007 AP organizing collective (not the same people as 2003-2004) to announce that the Against Patriarchy conference will be held May 4-6 at the Education Building on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene, Oregon.

More information can be found here: againstpatriarchy07.wordpress.com.

Though the conference is only two weeks away, we are still open to adding more workshops, discussions, music, art, or people/groups who might be interested in tabling! A workshop form is posted online, and we would like to ask that all submissions be in by the end of the week (or at lease please email us with your intentions to participate). Volunteers of all sorts - especially translation services - are still welcome and needed! Please email if you would like to contribute.

Against Patriarchy is free to everyone! Noel Sturgeon will Speak on Friday Night in the Fir Room of the EMU at 6pm. Workshops and discussions and lunchtime open mics will follow on Saturday and Sunday from 9am-6:30pm. There is live music from LKN and Felina on Friday night at the Campbell Club (1670 Alder St) and music by Nicole Sangsuree, Riot Folk, Sid & Fancy, Katie Jean, and more on Saturday at the Lorax Manner (1648 Alder St)

Food will be provided by Food Not Bombs. Childcare will be provided. ASL and Spanish translators will be on call for the conference. If anyone has further translation needs, please get in touch, and translators will be found. Support people (from SASS and more) will also be on call, for the whole of the conference. There is housing available for people from out of town (please email with questions/requests)

Thank you!
