Throughout the day of May 16th, additional features will be offered:
Listening Booths
Heather Dean and Carol Zamonski will be on-hand in a semi-private setting to listen to participants who need to discharge long and short term feelings arising from workshop topics on racism and economic justice. These feelings can have roots in cultural and personal history. Discharging feelings leads to clearer thinking. Heather and Carol have 15 years of counseling experience.

About Me
- OrganizeCBUS
- the Organize CBUS Collective is a network of students and community members in columbus, oh formed to set up and facilitate the state-wide Confronting Racism: Building United Movements conference happening at Ohio State University on May 16th, 2009. We are committed to providing an organizing space for students and community members throughout Ohio, especially women, people of color, queer, and working-class people, to develop the skills and the vision they need to struggle for a collective liberation against corporate power and institutional oppression. To this end it is our goal to; 1) Provide a program that will support a network of participants in developing an overall radical political analysis, organizing skills, and ability to think strategically 2) Place our current anti-racist work within a historical context of Ohio’s multi-racial struggles. 3) Highlight the work of Ohio-based organizations working toward social justice and provide said organizations with support through volunteer placement initiatives
