NCOR (National Conference on Organized Resistance)
Description
About NCOR
NCOR is an annual event that brings together activists from a variety of issues, struggles, ideologies and backgrounds for a weekend of learning and reflecting on the state of progressive movements occurring locally, nationally and worldwide. Through diverse workshops, panel discussions, skillshares, tabling, and the creation of an open and safe space, NCOR seeks to promote organized action amongst participants against the injustices and inequalities that we confront in our daily lives and in the world. NCOR is held on the main campus of American University in northwest Washington, DC.
NCOR 2005 was a raging success with 86 workshops and numerous guerrilla events, again doing justice to a tradition that has happened every winter since 1998. Over 1500 people attended last year! As NCOR continues to grow exponentially, 2006 looks like another great conference.
NCOR and American University
The NCOR Club is the American University student organization that organizes NCOR with partial funding from the AU Club Council and is under the Student Activities department. As a student conference organized by a student club, we are required to function in accordance with Student Activities guidelines in regards to workshop space scheduling, food providers, tablers (no more tabling in the hallways...), financial protocols and various safety regulations. In return for working with the administration and following their guidelines, we have been able to have this conference at AU for 9 years. NCOR is only sustainable if we follow the rules that AU asks of us. They have helped accommodate many of our needs over the last several years, and we work to do the same for them.
