This year's Against Patriarchy Conference is set for May 9 (3-6pm) and May 10 (10am-9pm) at the UO EMU Century and River Rooms with a slightly different name, the Beyond Patriarchy Conference.

The conference serves to create awareness, community and communication around the issue of male domination, privilege and sexism, and its intersections with such hierarchies as heterocentrism, white supremacy,
capitalism, colonialism and ableism. Workshops, spoken-word performances, music, zine trading and food are planned.

The Portland Grassroots Media Camp was very successful, with nearly 50 participant-focused media skills training workshops. About 150 attended at least one workshop, and several people came from as far away as Seattle and Hood River. 8 community and alternative media organizations in Multnomah County allowed us to use their space to hold workshops.
