Transformative Justice Anti-Sexual Assault Action Camp!

action camp flyer

On Martin Luther King Jr. weekend, Jan 15-17th, Philly Stands Up Collective in alliance with NASCO, is proud to host an intensive Action Camp in our home neighborhood of West Philly.

This Camp is for individuals who are involved in alternative justice and anti-sexual assault work in their communities. We view this as an opportunity to explore and push past the challenges of doing community accountability work by deepening our understanding of Transformative justice. We will share and develop strategies and practices for supporting our own healing and safety. And we will relate the ways in which our work intersects with other movements.

This Action Camp will be about story sharing, strengthening our strategies, and building up our skills. It's an opportunity to meet, connect and network with two dozen people doing different versions of this work all over the country. We're so excited to strengthen alliances, meet new friends and see where this moment of movement building takes us!

This is our first attempt at an Action Camp like this, and we apologize that participation for this event is extremely limited. We are asking folks who are interested to fill out our online application so that we can get to know you better and make informed decisions about who will be at the camp. We will try to ensure that many facets of our movements are represented, but we hope this will only be the first of ongoing Action Camps. Please don't let our space limitations discourage you from applying! The deadline for application submission is December 1st and we'll let you know by December 5th.

Fees for the Action Camp will include 7 home cooked locally sourced meals, housing, child care, and materials to take away.

Please e-mail us with *any* questions, suggestions or concerns.

Registration/Travel Resources

For Everyone

Philly's Pissed (last round had a August 2010 deadline. May have more availalbe funds)

For NASCO Members

Appeal to your co-op's board of directors. Many co-ops who are member of NASCO have funds set aside for participation in NASCO sponsored events like NASCO Institute, the Emerging Co-op Leaders conference, and Action Camp. It may be as easy as sending an email and requesting financial assistance for this Action Camp, or it may be as involved as appearing at a board, staff, or committee meeting to request money from the co-op education budget.

Philly Stands Up would be happy to help you if you need support in navigating your co-op's bureaucracy.
