Welcome to the U.S. Student Association National Student Power Summit! This is the first gathering of its kind for the Education Justice movement in the United States. During this weekend, we will have the opportunity to share skills with students who have won concrete victories, build power with students running similar campaigns, and take bold action together. We ready, we coming! Are you?
The United States Student Association would like to thank the generosity of our sponsors; Communication Workers of America, National Nurses United, Apple, and CCC
In Chicago students have built a city-wide student organizing network that partners with community organizations and independent political organizations to make massive changes in economic and racial justice on campus and off. Now that model is taking off across the country. From big changes in mass incarceration to a de facto ban on fracking in Illinois, students have been at the center of major social justice fights by building power WITH communities. In this workshop we will dig into the basic concepts of relational organizing that allow us to build power student-community power organizations capable of winning structural changes. This workshop will challenge folks to think deeply about their own relationships and the ways in which they can build more effective organizations on campus and off.
