Chicagoland Youth Organizing Summit
July 23-July 25 2004
Greater Chicago Metro Area
Initiated by the Education Not Empire Coalition
next planning meeting for 2004 Youth Organizing Summit
Tuesday June 1st 7:00 PM SHARP
1908 S. Halsted (Halsted + 19th) #3F
Bring Food and Friends!
Background: Chicago currently has a multitude of youth and student
organizations that are mobilizing for social justice, community
empowerment, and creative alternatives to our destructive society.
Unfortunately, many of these groups have not been networking or
collaborating to a point where we are actively supporting each other. Our
generation is waking up and realizing that we are inheriting an
unsustainable cycle of violence and destruction - and we must be organized
to stop it. It is time that we provide a grassroots, empowering
alternative to MTV nation and take our movements to the next step.
In order to facilitate better networking, and provide students and youth
from all over Chicagoland with the skills to organize and empower
themselves, the Education Not Empire Coalition is hosting a Youth
Organizing Summit from Friday, July 23-Sunday July 25. Our vision is that
we will have 3 days filled with workshops, skillshares, teach-ins, film
screenings, art showcases, music shows, and networking sessions. We need
people and/or groups to propose workshops, attend meetings, and help us
secure locations for our events. All proposals, questions, or voices of
support can be sent to studentliberation@ziplip.com.
In solidarity,
The Education Not Empire Coalition
