Conference Activities:
Brass Solidarity
Experience a live performance from Brass Solidarity, a collective of musicians, activists, and community members using their sound as a voice for justice. They perform as a sonic occupation to heal, spread joy, inspire hope, and share love while dismantling white supremacy and oppressive constructs. They were birthed from the movement for Black Liberation in George Floyd square, meeting there weekly as a sonic occupation in offering to the community. The music is by the people and for the people as a passionate campaign to celebrate community, educate, and uplift marginalized groups.
Power of the Press: Minnesota Center for Book Arts
Power of the Press is a program of Minnesota Center for Book Arts (MCBA) that brings letterpress printing to community centers, libraries, and partner organizations.
Try your hand at letterpress printing on their portable printing press, and take a postcard home with you. This art experience will be available to attendees throughout the conference.
Singing Resistance
Singing Resistance mobilizes people to take action through song to protect what we love, while building a culture based in belonging and solidarity. They are an essential and growing part of a mass movement to defeat authoritarianism in the U.S. To create the future we want, we need millions of people like you to take courageous action together, across identity, geography and political beliefs. Singing Resistance is a multiracial movement grounded in love, nonviolence, and solidarity. They will be performing in the Grand Ballroom during the Day 2 Welcome.
