8th Annual Building Power Conference: Building Power Toward Collective Liberation
February 21, 2025 - 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM ET
The mission of Building Power is to center community knowledge in the fight against white extremism. Often in academic spaces, we do not learn from the activists, community leaders and organizers doing the work in our communities. We want to flip this narrative and provide a space for community leaders to be the teachers, and for students to engage in this type of learning in an accessible way.
