NYCoRE Conference Biennial Statement

Hello NYCoRE Family,

Over last seven years, the annual NYCoRE conference has grown from a small gathering of 150 people, to over 1200 students, educators, activists and community members!  We have worked hard to create an inclusive and justice-oriented space filled with new ideas, art, education and love.  Through the years, we have developed many exciting features, such as child care, kids track, inclusive name tags, interactive arts, pass the hat, a social media team, youth open mic lunch, breakfast/lunch/snack, all day coffee, community and raffle time with a DJ, organizational and sales tables, stellar keynote speakers, and over 75 annual youth and adult-led workshops.  Thank you for your support as we continue to build toward a radical and socially just world.

While our conference has grown in attendance, effort, workshops, and mouths to feed, our capacity has not.  We have always been and continue to be an all-volunteer grassroots organization made up of people employed in other full-time jobs.  Because of our commitment to continue to maintain the high quality of the NYCoRE conference, we have decided to move to a biennial model.  From now on, we will hold the conference every other year, in the off years of the Free Minds Free People conference, put on by one of our sister organizations, The Education for Liberation Network.  Therefore, NYCoRE will not hold our event in 2017, but will be back in 2018 for our 8th, now biennial, conference.  

Thank you for your understanding and support.

RSVP for May Member Meeting!

RSVP for Our May 20th Member Meeting

Immigration Enforcement, Law Enforcement, and Educational Justice

MigrationIsBeautifulPosters_18x24_hi_res_

 

Join us Friday, May 20th for our monthly member meeting. This month’s Political Education will be facilitated by members of NYCoRE’s Teach Dream Working Group.

In April, we discussed the intersections of the prison abolition movement and educational justice. In this month’s meeting, Teach Dream (a working group of NYCoRE) will continue this conversation by exploring the connections between immigration enforcement and law enforcement. The United States has a long history of using policing and borders to perpetuate racism and capitalism. We will read, discuss, and draw ways that we as educators in particular can resist and support resistance in order to imagine and bring forth a world without borders and without police.

Check out these two actions to support undocumented and immigrant youth and families:

To learn more about these actions, join us on May 20th!

Note: Credit for much of the political analysis in this workshop goes to the Black Lives Matter movement, the ICEfreeNYC coalition, Families for Freedom and the New York State Youth Leadership Council.

Please remember to RSVP to give us an accurate head count for food as well as bring reusable food containers and utensils. Let’s try to be radical in all aspects of our lives!

Time:
5:30 to 8:00 PM

This meeting will include political education and working group break out time.

NYU Pless Hall 3rd Floor Lounge
