by May 1st 2020 with the following information:

Your name
Workshop title
A couple of paragraphs describing your workshop
Relevant links or articles if you have any
Ideal amount of time needed for workshop
Any space requirements (if you need access to a projector, speakers, space for people to move, etc)
If you need a travel stipend in order to attend, and approximately how much. We hope to be able to provide compensation to as many people as possible (facilitators and non-facilitators), but this requires you making the commitment to come as early as you can, as our funds are limited.

Workshops and discussions that center around what it means to be anti-border, anti-state, and in active solidarity with all migrants and asylum seekers. For those of us with US and Canadian citizenship, we recognize that it is never enough to simply hold and speak of our politics. We must engage actively and directly against the people and systems that are responsible for the abuses and deaths along the southern border. Remember that these are horrors we have also faced in our recent past.
