Delegations are life-changing experiences and critical opportunities to build international solidarity with movements for liberation worldwide. The cost of organizing delegations is expensive -- which poses challenges to making them accessible to our next generation of activists and organizers whose representation should be prioritized. Will you help us break these barriers to participation? |
