Next week Friday, October 3 will be the first ever Higher Ed to End Slavery in Minnesota Conference, featuring Professor Lehman, End Slavery Coalition Director Chauntyll Allen, and a myriad of other impacted leaders and workshops.
Please join End Slavery Minnesota, the Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee (IWOC), and Students for Abolition for a day of discussion and skill-sharing on Friday October 3 from 9 AM to 7 PM.
This event will explore the intersections of prisons, universities, and prison labor with community organizers, students, instructors, and more. The first set of workshops will include: how to co-teach a class with someone in prison, how to close more prisons in MN, and lessons in solidarity across movements. The second set of workshops will include: how to organize on your campus, how to run legislative meetings, grievance training, and more.
An opening panel and lunch will begin at the Liberal Arts Engagement Hub at the University of Minnesota (310 Pillsbury Dr SE, Minneapolis, MN 55455) before traveling together to Minneapolis Community and Technical College for a catered lunch and afternoon sessions. Participants are welcome to join for the full day or any portion of the day.
We welcome all students from all universities, faculty, and community members. Free to attend, and you may make an optional donation if you’d like to give support.
