Then, please join us at Rid-All Farms on Friday, October 25th for an All-Community Reception. We conclude on Saturday, October 26th in conversation with local and national thought-leaders as we explore the current state of the struggle. Our keynote speaker and panelists will poignantly provide insights on a myriad of topics including human rights, community organizing, and public education. The discussions will examine the nexus between power, race, class, political repression, and war through multiple lenses. We hope you will join us!
