DESCRIPTION: This workshop will energize participants to take charge of information and communication technologies and organize in their communities for better health care, education, housing and wages. Framed within a national anti-poverty movement and campaign for economic human rights, this workshop enables participants to collect and share testimonies of survival and resistance from people on the margins. No technological skills are necessary to participate. Come share your story!

While there is no charge, please register by Sept. 14 so we can plan ahead. Registration contact: slirish at illinois.edu
