4th Annual Vermont Activist Skills Share! Friday to Saturday, August 12-14, on beautiful Wheelock Mountain Farm <http://www.vtactivistskillshare.org/thefarm.php>, in West Wheelock, Vermont.
For more information, online registration, and online workshop proposal submission, visit: http://www.vtactivistskillshare.org/ As Vermont organizers and activists working for social justice and an ecologically sound future, we are creating a space for skill building, strategizing, and networking. We are making time for important discussions reflecting on the past, assessing the present, and building successful strategies and tactics for our movements in the Green Mountain State. We invite you to join us in a three-day retreat to rejoice, relax, recharge, and reinvigorate ourselves and our struggle. This year's skills share will occur August 12-14, on beautiful Wheelock Mountain Farm <http://www.vtactivistskillshare.org/thefarm.php>, in West Wheelock, Vermont. The Activist Skills Share puts anti-oppression, anti-racist, anti-poverty, anti-ableism, pro-queer, pro-trans politics at the center of our reflections, discussions, organizing, and activism. Throughout the event we will focus on how our different identities can function as both political rallying points and as tools to silence, oppress and exclude. There will also be an entire set of workshops dedicated to identifying and challenging oppressive relations within our movements Over 15 skill workshops are planned for the three days of learning and sharing. Discussions of identity politics and how that informs anti-oppression work will occupy the sessions Friday. On Saturday, the first half of the day is focused on larger strategic and tactical discussions of importance to our reigon. The remainder of the day Saturday and most of Sunday will be workshop sessions. For those travelling some distance, tenting sites will be made available at the farm on Thursday evening. Requested Donations: $15 a day per person Friday-Sunday (includes workshops, 3 meals, tenting space), $10 Thursday (tenting space). No one turned away for lack of funds!
