Students from across the country converge in New Orleans for a weekend of building our organizing skills, strengthening the foundations to a unified social justice movement, and enjoying the Big Easy!

Highlights:
• Share skills with students from campuses across the country! With a focus on concrete campaigns for economic justice and labor solidarity, you’ll also have the chance to learn from experiences organizers in the movements for immigrant rights, women's and LGBTQ+ rights, environmental justice, anti-human trafficking and more!
• Hear directly from local and international workers in a worker panel, and learn how college students have the power to make big changes! Students & garment workers worked hand-in-hand for over a decade to see to the creation of Alta Gracia, the world's first-ever college apparel factory to pay workers a fair wage and respect their voice on the job. Students also created the Worker Rights Consortium, the only independently-funded college apparel factory monitor. Hear from workers how these have improved working conditions for folks who sew collegiate apparel, and learn how students can continue improving human rights along our university supply chains!
• Explore one of the country's most wondrous cities with cool leaders interconnected in the global movement for justice! Mardi gras with new friends! Live Music! Parades! Action!
• Swap skills with students who have won concrete campaigns! Learn how to build campus coalition, turn out people to events, master organizing conversations, and more! Don’t have a campaign you’re currently working on? We’ll help you kick-start something on campus!
• Need help getting there? We’re happy to provide fundraising support, connections to local carpools, and information about need-based scholarships!
• Lodging and meals are provided with your sliding scale conference fee! Register today to hold your spot!
