9th Annual National Conference on Organized Resistance

February 3–5, 2006, American University, Washington DC

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.1.) Registration and General Information:

IMPORTANT: NCOR will be in a different building this year. The whole
conference has been moved to the Mary Graydon Center. A map of the campus
can be found here (for those who
have been to NCOR before, in the past the conference has been in the Ward
building. You can use that as a point of reference on the map.)



Registration for NCOR is $10 in advance and $12 at the door. Please
consider registering early for NCOR. The early revenue helps us to pay for
things like t-shirts, travel and food. Visit the web site
here for registration information.



NCOR is on the main campus of American University in North West Washington
DC. The nearest Metro stop (our subway) is the AU/Tennley Town stop on the
Red Line. From the metro stop there is a shuttle to the AU campus or you
can walk. For more info on Metro you can go to www.wmata.org. There are
also buses that go near AU. The Metro web site can help you with this as
well.



Quick points:


— NCOR begins the evening of Friday February 3rd with an awesome benefit
show! Stay tuned for more info here.

— Workshops are Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 6pm. Lunch is provided
each day and is vegan.

2.) Mass Housing is Available!

Mass housing for NCOR participants is available at St. Stephens Church (it
can house several hundred people!). The church is located in the Columbia
Heights/Mt. Pleasant Neighborhoods. The nearest Metro stop is Columbia
Heights on the Green Line. Again visit www.wmata.org for more info. There
is some car parking in the area but it can be tricky.

DIRECTIONS from the METRO:

From the metro stop take the north bound 14th St. exit. At the top of the
escalator walk straight (north) for 3 blocks (you’ll cross Kenyon and Park
and see a big theater called the Tivolli) then on your left you will see a
fire station, this is the corner of 14th and Newton. Take a left here (you
can only turn left). Walk all the way to 16th (one long block). The church
is on the corner of 16th and Newton. Enter on the 16th St. side in the big
red door.



St. Stephens is accessible for people with disabilities but is floor
sleeping only. If you would like to stay in a place with fewer people and
possibly more then just floor space then sign up on the housing board at
the NCOR web site here or
check out the housing offer board
here.

3.) Workshops! Workshops! Workshops!

variety of workshops being offered this year. NCOR is as big as ever and
