When: 10am-6pm, May 1st and 2nd

The Roots of Resistance Conference is a two day event featuring workshops and

Rudd, of Students for a Democratic Society and later the Weather Underground, and

along with many other student and community activists as well as professors, this
conference is a space in which we can build a strong future for our struggles while
learning from the experiences of the 1960's and 70's.
