Come Together
The annual National Conference on Organized Resistance (NCOR) brings together activists who work on a variety of issues for a weekend of learning about and reflecting on the state of local, national and worldwide progressive movements. Through workshops, discussions, skillshares, tabling, and the creation of an open and safe space, NCOR seeks to promote organized action against the injustices and inequalities that we confront in our daily lives and in the world.
NCOR 2005 was a raging success with more than 1,500 attendees, 86 workshops and numerous guerrilla events, again doing justice to a tradition that has happened every winter since 1998. NCOR 2006 will be held Feb. 3-5 on the main campus of The American University in Washington.
Help out by attending a NCOR fundraiser and contribute to an evening of music, fun and beer specials for a good cause. The suggested donation is $5.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
