This Conference is the follow up to the 2001 World Congress Against Racism Conference. All I gotta say is how can this county, with it's history of racism, not participate in this conference. The U.S. needs to own up for its foulness and be at this conference!
Visit the African Americans for Justice and Peace in Palestine/Israel blog, a Chicago-based group to find out more info about the Petition and more information about why solidarity among oppressed people is so important. AquaMoon is also in solidarity with the movement that's promoting a peace and just Palestine/Israel.

Keynote speaker: Byron Hurt, director of "Beyond Beats and Rhymes" Men Against Sexual Violence is proud to announce the first annual Male Ally Conference at UIC. The Male Ally Conference is a two day event that seeks to engage men in ending transphobia, homophobia and violence against women. The conference will take place April 25th & 26th 2009, at UIC's Student Center East, The Illinois Rooms, 750 S. Halsted Chicago.
The conference features men from all communities leading workshops on race and masculinity, disability and masculinity, trans-masculinity, and unlearning homophobia. During these workshops men will have the opportunity to talk about what it means to "be a man" and how race, transgender identity, sexual orientation, and disability intersect to change this meaning from community to community. Men will also learn about what they can do in their everyday lives to stop a culture of violence.
The second day of the conference takes theory to action with exercise to encourage coalition building and networking. During day two conference participants will also have the opportunity to share ideas for further action and education on our campus and in their home communities."
The conference is free and open to all male-identified persons.
