Friend,
I wanted to remind you about our
bi-annual membership conference. The deadline to apply
for The
Young People’s Reproductive Justice Power Summit is March 20,
2020. The Young People’s Reproductive Justice Power Summit is
intended to be a space to be in community with one another while
building upon their understanding of reproductive justice and
organizing. This summit of our members throughout the country will be
rooted in the leadership of young people of color, LGBTQIA+ folks, and
folks from the South and Midwest.
We are at a crossroads for
reproductive justice - and young people are increasingly the moral
center of the progressive movement. We’ll be talking about
reproductive justice at the intersections of race, class, gender, and
the 2020 political landscape.
Join us to:
- Strategize with other young activists on abortion, sex ed,
racial justice, and more
- Connect
across and within states to share lessons and campaign
ideas
- Gain
practical skills and theoretical foundations for organizing, policy
& communications
- Participate in an “unconference” - where you bring YOUR ideas to
teach & share
- Celebrate the growing young people’s movement for reproductive
justice
URGE values the knowledge,
experience, and expertise our activists and members bring into the
room and we want to cultivate a culture of shared knowledge and
learning. URGE is working to
make our Summit accessible to folks with disabilities, trans folks,
parents/caregivers and all who may have accessibility needs because
we know that young people with disabilities, trans
folks, and parents/caregivers are a crucial part of this work, given
how members of those communities are impacted by reproductive
injustice. We know however,
that while intention matters there are always improvements that can be
made, and we welcome feedback and suggestions from members of those
communities. Some
accommodations being made can be found here, and we ask that you
please include all relevant information needed to make reasonable
accommodations in your application.
Expenses (registration, travel,
hotel, all meals) are paid for by URGE for our activists and members.
