DESCRIPTION:	\nThe SUNY Social Justice Conference\, November 7-9 at SUNY-Bi
 nghamton\, will be a staging ground for students\, organizers\, activists 
 and allies to build a united movement across our diverse communities for s
 olidarity and social change. Budget cuts and privatization close doors to 
 public higher education\, but the state\\'s prison system drains away fund
 s into an ever-expanding industrial complex. As more young people of color
  enter penitentiaries than enroll in the SUNY system\, campuses reap the b
 enefits of forced prison labor. As educators and students fight to be hear
 d\, the state suffocates the power of unions to organize and negotiate. An
 d as endless wars rage overseas\, vital resources are wrested from communi
 ties back home. Drawing upon the rich history of vital student participati
 on in struggles for social change\, we will gather in November to build ne
 w movements for justice. Join us for a weekend of organizing\, learning\, 
 networking\, and connecting\, featuring workshops\, strategy-sessions\, di
 scussions and a keynote address by people\\'s historian Howard Zinn.\n\n--
