BUILDING COMMUNITY RESILIENCE

SOCIAL JUSTICE FORUM TO CREATE SPACE FOR PUBLIC TO ENGAGE IN CRITICAL ISSUES OF 2024

Palestinian Liberation, Climate Justice, Immigrant Justice, Decarceration, Worker Justice and Cooperatives, Housing for All and much more will be highlighted at the 2024 Westchester Social Forum.

Dozens of local organizations will participate in the Westchester Social Forum on Sunday, April 14th at the Andalusia School located at 380 Walnut Street in Yonkers, NY 10701. The event will open with a People's Parade through the streets of Yonkers lifting up our vision for another world with freedom, justice, peace and environmental protection.

The opening plenary session will feature musicians, collective songs and our community leaders who are working on all the issues that we care deeply about. Following the plenary, participants will break out into workshops delving deeper into the most pressing issues of our time. Details of each workshop are forthcoming.

Community organizations will table to exchange ideas and information, foster solidarity and celebrate our work to create a more just and equal society. People who are helping to staff tables for their social justice groups will need to arrive around 11:15am to set up.  More details will be provided closer to the date.  

Participants will harness our collective power to organize a movement for change. The social justice forum will provide the space to learn from one another, strengthen local organizing skills and connect as a community.

All are welcome. Advance registration is requested at $10 per student/fixed income and $20 general admission - NO ONE WILL BE TURNED AWAY FOR LACK OF FUNDS. Falafel sandwiches and other food will be provided by WESPAC from a local Yonkers restaurant. We deeply thank our sponsors for helping to make this happen including the Elias Foundation.
