Practical Activism is an annual conference led and organized by students from Colleges Nine, Ten, and Oakes. October 2017 will mark the 15th annual Practical Activism Conference at UC Santa Cruz. Each year the conference addresses a range of social justice issues and offers tools for change through workshops, speakers, hands-on activism activities, the spoken word, and more. Planning the conference offers a vibrant leadership opportunity for students who work together for more than eight months to develop and plan all components of the event. Planners gain communication, critical-thinking, group-work, organizational, and problem-solving skills, while deepening their understanding of and commitment to social justice.
Your gift will ensure that the legacy of Practical Activism will continue, with planners developing their passions and learning real-world skills, and the conference inspiring people to engage with social change and work on important issues locally and globally.
