The theme of the 9th Annual Local to Global Justice Teach-In, on February 27th and 28th, is Re-Storying Community. This year's event moves us closer to a social forum in which we can share our stories and listen to narratives that are too often pushed to the margins. By addressing issues of human rights, social and environmental justice, housing, transportation, health, childrearing, youth issues, and alternatives to predatory capitalism, we hope to strengthen alliances and learn through each other's experiences and visions for community.
Featured sessions will foreground Indigenous voices and honor diverse visions of what it might mean to re-story community.
