Help plan Free Minds, Free People [FMFP] 2013

[starshine]

Dear Friend,

Hope you have had a wonderful summer. Believe it or not, we are now getting ready to start planning the next Free Minds, Free People <http://www.fmfp.org/>, which will take place in 2013. We hope you will consider being part of the planning team.

As you may know, Free Minds, Free People is organized by a large team of volunteers--teachers, students, activists, academics, parents--just like you. That team does everything from selecting workshop proposals to eblasting, tweeting and blogging about FMFP, to raising money, to organizing the conference venue, and much, much more.

We are now recruiting for the 2013 planning team. We're looking for people who care about education justice, like working with others, volunteer to do things and then get those things done, and love Free Minds, Free People. Our first task will be to choose the new host city. To learn more about the planning process click here <http://cts.vresp.com/c/?EducationforLiberati/38d98fc9ca/e46726382f/571c57d92c>.

If you are interested in joining the planning team, please email me no later than Friday, Sept. 23 answering the following questions:

-Your Name
-Organization/School (if you are connected to a particular institution. It's fine if you're not.)
-City, State
-What kind of education for liberation work do you do?
-Which conference(s) have you attended (2011, 2009, 2007)? It's fine if you haven't attended.
-We try to ensure that marginalized identities (with regards to race, class, sexual orientation etc.) have a leadership role in our planning process. Can you tell us more about how you identify yourself within these and other categories that are important to you?

We'll be making final decisions about the planning committee by early October.

In Solidarity,
