5:30 Community Dinner - As a modest example of challenging patriarchal stereotypes, the men's conference will be feeding women from two parallel events (Diversity Arts Training and Colony Collapse: A Day of Climate Change Consciousness Raising) which happen to predominantly feature young women, non-binary, queer, and POC who will be meeting throughout the afternoon at these political arts events and arriving here to be fed at Raycam.

Then we will all go across the street to Red Gate for more conference-affiliated events with a Colony Collapse talk - see below - and an AfterParty.
