This conference will bring the campus and the community together for an afternoon of workshops on the topic of “War and Its Intersections.” Throughout the day, speakers at this youth-led conference will address both the root causes and the many effects of ongoing, global US warfare. Topics include but are not limited to:
- How do racism, capitalism, colonialism, imperialism, and patriarchy contribute to war?
- What is the relationship between US war and US industry, civil liberties, budget priorities, healthcare, education, and the environment?
- By identifying the related struggles that contribute to war and the many bankrupting effects of war, how do we best build a movement to resist war?

Syracuse University, exact location TBD.
