HOW DO I JOIN THE CAWS?

If you’re interested in fighting white supremacy within the Cascadia bioregion, here are ways you can get involved with CAWS:

  1. Join a work group. This is an all-hands-on-deck movement! If you want to take responsibility for networking with frontline groups, join in on postering campaigns, help organize the next CAWS Summit, or have some sweet merch ideas – there’s a work group waiting for you to start or join!

  2. Give a presentation at a CAWS summit. Whether you’re passionate about the history of WS within Cascadia, are trained in conflict de-escalation tactics, want to talk about your personal experiences, or want to perform your anti-racist or POC-perspective art for a new audience – let us know!

  3. Share, promote, and bring awareness to CAWS events and workgroups. Talk to people within your network about CAWS, or post on social media.

  4. Make suggestions. See something we’re missing? Let us know, and consider leading a workgroup on this topic or interest!

WHAT KIND OF PRESENTATIONS ARE FEATURED AT CAWS SUMMITS?

We feature a wide variety of presentation types, including:

  • Educational presentations: About current WS tactics, about Cascadia, about conflict de-escalation strategies
  • Research-based presentations: History of Cascadia, history of WS, why people become WS
  • Personal anecdotes: On an experience that you have had, on a change that you experienced
  • Art, music, and performance: Art, music, theatre, dance, and more! Anything inspired by or addressing racism, fighting WS, or POC experience.
  • POC experiences & projects: One of the best ways to combat WS is to lift up the experiences, art, and work of POC. As such, any POC are invited to present their personal experiences or work at a CAWS Summit.
