California State University at Northridge will be hosting "We Are Power: Community in Action Conference", an annual student-led event, open and free to the public which will take place on February 27, 2021 from 1pm-4:30pm EST.
Their focus is on “(Re)Imagining Public Safety: Building Community Healing.” The name “We Are Power” was inspired by Native activist, John Trudell whose words embodied our intentions to honor and remember our ancestral connections to knowledge and land, while actively reclaiming our power and responsibility to build community through action.
Here’s a link to their previous events.
