We will have crash courses in topics such as direct action and radical info sharing, workshops on eco-anxiety, and more! As we continue into a pandemic future, our team acknowledges the collective Zoom fatigue we are experiencing. Because of that, we encourage our communities to honor their digital boundaries and be mindful of their digital capacity. This year's digital convergence is designed to be easy on our Zoom fatigued minds and eyes, we do not expect our participants to be on the computer all weekend long and are designing a convergence to be informative and community minded but with minimal hours on Zoom. We will be providing live captioning and transcript throughout the digital workshops. On August 7th, workshops will start at 11am MT/ 10 am PT and finish at 5pm MT/ 4pm PT. We will have dispersed workshops throughout August 8th. By registering, you express interest in the Uplift 2021 Convergence. You will be sent Zoom links to join individual digital workshops. Agenda will be announced prior to the event and we will be releasing workshop names and descriptions soon on our social media and in emails you will receive after registration! This event is free to all. However, we invite you to donate and support youth climate organizing in the Southwest!
