June 28-30 in Richmond, VA

All IWW, GDC, and IWOC members are invited and encouraged to attend the Southern Regional Organizing Assembly, a biennial gathering hosted by the Southern Coordinating Committee. We particularly encourage members from around the South to come, as well as members who are actively organizing or who face structural oppression. Other rebel workers, prison abolitionists, and community defenders are also welcome, but please let us know to expect you, and understand that space can fill up. In that case, preference will be given to members.



Event/housing details will be emailed to all registered participants. To register, please go here.
