Lost Boys for Archive

Memories flooded me of marching on the Parade on Grito Day with my husband Ori, and then also with Machi in a chest carrier and later a stroller, and on his own two feet until he left home. Marching elbow to elbow with hundreds of Karayans always moved me to tears. We waved green and black banners with the words Parade one Day, Poverty Every Day, and Karaya Libre y Socialista, and chanted those words over megaphones and at the tops of our lungs.

Formula

Kathy Martino’s formula for figuring out workshop costs (as understood by Maritza A.)

1. Add costs for:
Room and board (include Friday dinner if purchased)
Leader’s fee
Organizer’s fee
2 scholarships
insurance
expenses (snack, supplies)
Add
2. Divide subtotal for the above by 9 (this amount is a projection of what Seattle will get)

3. Add up 1 and 2
These are the constant expenses

4. Divide constant expenses by # of people coming minus 4 (2 scholarships, leader and organizer)

Left Forum Reports by RC Team Participants
Maritza Arrastia
The LF is a large yearly gathering of movement activists and scholars comprised of several hundred panels, workshops, and plenaries. This is the third year that NY RC regions participated. The first two were as United to End Racism (UER) and this year was as Sustaining all Life (SAL). Our panel/workshop theme this year was: Tools for Listening When We Disagree.
