  • Build Intersectional Movements – Develop strategies for cross-sector, coalition-based organizing that amplifies marginalized voices, particularly from the Global South.
  • Combat Weaponization of Identity Politics – Recognize how identity politics is used to divide communities and learn tactics to resist and reframe these narratives.
  • Translate Discussion into Action – Get to know one another, build community, and gain practical tools to turn dialogue into meaningful activism, advocacy, and systemic change.
