Intentions:
This conference is not intended to be "Activism 101." This is an event for folx
who have some experience in community work/organizing/activism. In being
somewhat exclusive, we are hoping to include groups and individuals who are
often forgotten about. If you know anyone who should be there and may not have
heard about the conference yet, please invite them!
This conference will take place on Ida, a Radical Faerie Community in Tennessee.
Our backdrop will be wooded hills, hollws, huge organic gardens, and beautiful
rustic structures. Accommodations will be mostly camping, with outhouses and
solar showers. Simple vegetarian and vegan meals will be provided from a large
central kitchen. Meals will be respectfully shared with a handful of community
residents. Out of respect for the community and the environment we will strive
to have low impact on the land. Pets are not welcome on the land under any
circumstances, (except helper animals.)
We are attempting to offer accomodations for those with disabilities and similar
needs. All conference events will be accessible for everyone there. The
necessary steps to meet the needs of parents and kids are being taken, including
offereing professional and organized childcare. Children of all ages are
welcome. We will also have an American Sign Language interpreter.
While we will do our best to address security concerns, we would like to state
that there is no such thing as a safe space. We will hold people accountable for
their actions and encourage everyone to take some responsibility for their own
safety and of those around them. More details in the SAFER SPACE section.
The conference will be focused, so come prepared to work! Please come early or
stay late to socialize, explore, and/or help out with a project on the land.
While no one will be turned away, Ida does request a donation from those who
choose to be on the land before or after the conference.
