Native Movement will offer a 2.5-day organizer learning space in 2024 for communities interested in deepening relationships and skills to build collective power. We will spend time deepening into our theme of Ceremony as Resistance and how ceremony has built collective power and shaped Indigenous communities. We will listen and learn from elders in an intentionally intergenerational space. We will formulate collective understandings of organizing skills and ways of building people power. All with the intention of sharing skills to empower each other, our communities, and lead us to collective liberation.

REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED
