2026 We the Future

Sign-Up Here! 

Submit a Conference Session Proposal!

We invite educators, students, activists, and community members to submit proposals for interactive workshops, panels, and presentations that explore this year’s theme: 

Joy & Resistance – Liberatory Futures in Community

This year’s conference centers the truth that joy and resistance are not opposites — they are intertwined liberatory practices. Joy fuels resistance. Resistance protects the conditions for joy. Together, they form the heartbeat of collective liberation.

Participants will explore this theme through three pathways:

•          Educate — Learning and unlearning how systems shape our lives while deepening critical consciousness through community-centered, liberatory frameworks.

•          Activate — Skill-building for sustainable justice work, organizing, healing justice, mutual aid, policy engagement, and collective care.

•          Create — Art, storytelling, movement, and cultural expression as vital forms of joy, resistance, and social transformation.
