[opirgyork] Call-Out for Activity Proposals for DisOrientation 2011

[OPIRG York]

***PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY***

Call-out for activity proposals for DisOrientation 2011
Application Attached
Deadline: July 18th, 2011

For years on the York University campus, YPIRG, its allied organizations 
and community members have put together an alternative orientation week 
that promotes critical thinking, education and insight into 
anti-oppressive and social justice issues. DisOrientation is an 
alternative schedule of events to foster student activism in the face of 
corporate and oppressive control of our campuses.
We are looking for organizations, departments, collectives, people, 
groups that have great ideas for events or activities of any kind to 
participate in this year’s monumental DisOrientation, scheduled to 
happen in September 2011.

DisOrientation is a radically different, politically progressive, series 
of events that will offer all students access and insight into the 
exciting political and social justice spheres that exist at York 
University and in our city. By bringing together a wide range of campus 
and community groups and services, we are trying to draw the links 
between the many different kinds of political, environmental and social 
justice based activism that exists on campus and in our communities.

We are committed to work that deals explicitly with, and confronts, 
racism, imperialism, colonialism, transphobia, sexism, misogyny, 
heterosexism, classism, ableism, homophobia and all intersecting 
oppressive forces. We are committed to anti-oppression politics and 
strive to raise awareness and educate at all our events, but also to 
prepare and provide the tools that we need in order to actively resist 
oppressive
