SEEKING SOLUTIONS? You’ve come to the right place! Join our WILPF US CONGRESS for WEEKDAY afternoon/evening Zoom presentations August 9–12 & August 16–19, Mondays-Thursdays starting at 5 pm PDT / 8 pm EDT (days TBD).
“WOMEN, POWER, and SOCIAL JUSTICE: Building from Strength” is the theme for the 34th WILPF US Triennial Congress this summer. For the weekend presentations at Congress, we are honored to have well-known featured speakers, women with expertise in peacebuilding, truth-seekers in our cultural inheritances, and much more. We are also excited about sharing the knowledge and practice of branch members and initiatives on weekdays. Here’s a sampling:
Membership Development: “ONE by ONE We Grow” – reaching out and collaborating with allied organizations and providing tools for individual relationship building
Branch Development: “Building Branches from the Inside Out” Initiative – an asset-based community development approach
Legislative activism: “Legislative Advocacy: Uniting in Effectiveness” – how regional or national coordination is an effective and powerful tool for change
Peacebuilding: “Growing a Peace Camp” – sharing 30 years of experience in building a space for youth
Leaving a Legacy: “Learning to Save WILPF US Branch History” – reviewing presentations and learning how to develop your own archives
Housing and Homelessness: “Hands-on Caring and Sharing” – hear about the problems and solutions in building an effective infrastructure for caring and protecting people on the edge of society
Fundraising and Relationship Building: “Making a Splash for Peace: Fashion Statements” takes a traditional “women's program” of a fashion show and turns it into a powerful statement of women’s power.
