If radical politics is your thing, you should make plans to get up to American University this weekend for the seventh annual National Conference on Organized Resistance, which kicks off tonight with a panel at 6 p.m. Registration on the conference is $12 and includes two free (vegan) meals, dozens of information sessions on everything from “Zapatismo in Your Community” and “Between Poststructuralism and Anarchism” to “Women and Girls in Punk” and “Veg the System.” The conference also includes screenings of a variety of films including Mardi Gras Made in China and The Fourth World War, both documentaries about neoliberal globalization, tonight at 8 p.m. for $5 and The Corporation tomorrow at 8 p.m. for $5.
Overall, the conference seems fairly well organized and the list of organizations with tables at the conference alone sounds fascinating.
