The National Conference of Organized Resistance is an annual event that brings together people from all backgrounds for a weekend of learning and discussing local and international social justice issues through workshops, panel discussions, and skillshares. NCOR is held on the main campus of American University in northwest Washington, DC.

Throughout the past year, resistance has thrived in our workplaces, in our neighborhoods, and in our relationships. Oppressed communities organized cooperatively to subvert the systems that only serve the needs of a privileged few.

In both South Central LA and Washington DC, community resistance movements stood between developers' bulldozers and our public lands. Students organized for youth liberation, community power, and their own education. The struggle for dignity in the workplace took many forms, with organized resistance spreading in New York warehouses and Florida fields. Miners on both sides of the border suffered the tragic consequences of an un- organized workplace. The racist legal system exposed itself this year: we couldn't save Sean Bell, but we saved Kenneth Foster, and thousands marched through the streetsof Jena, LA, to save six youths there. Homophobic courts punished queer self-defense against violent bigots in New Jersey, and transfolk in Philadelphia led marches against the brutal murder of Erika Keels. US resistance movements joined forces in Atlanta at the first ever US Social Forum, and a pro-democracy movement in Burma against the military junta caught the attention of the world.

In workshops and presentations communities in struggle will share their stories and organize toward revolution in our lifetime. NCOR in its eleventh year will reflect the global in the local, because the oppressions we face in Washington DC are, on a small scale, the same as those we face everywhere. Come to DC March 7-9th with a new world in your heart.
