Join us for a campaigning brainstorm & skillshare session around disrupting the conference season. This online event will be geared towards the US/UK/Europe STEM context but all welcome and from any discipline.

accessibility statement
This event will be held over Jitsi using audio, video, and chat. Some participants may only communicate through one medium for safety and/or accessibility reasons. We selected Jitsi for its privacy and security features, but unfortunately, we are unable to provide either CART or auto-captioning through this platform. Some third party options for live auto-captioning:
- LiveCaptions (Linux-only; instructions here)
- macOS Live Captions (Mac with Apple silicon only) (instructions here)
- Otter.ai client
- Join the meeting through Chrome and set up auto-captions (instructions here) (please note this option is less secure)
We understand that these are not ideal solutions and we apologize that this creates a barrier for participation.
code of conduct
We aim for a productive, safe environment for challenging conversations and skills exchange. We have a zero tolerance policy on harassment, bullying, and intimidation, especially targeting protected characteristics of participants and/or speakers, including but not limited to Islamophobia, racism, and antisemitism. We do not consider anti-Zionism or criticism of settler colonialism or apartheid as antisemitism. The focus of this event is to facilitate community-building; we encourage attendees to center discussion around these topics and refrain from personal issues.
