They will address such questions as:
- “How do we create accountable partnerships and grow accountable communities across race and gender differences in the midst of white supremacist, sexist and homophobic violence?”
- “How do we address how racism, sexism, queer and transphobia, ageism, fatphobia and other systems of oppression that inequitably distribute resources and opportunities?”
- “How do we take care of each other while fighting?”
- “How do we take care of ourselves?”
