Xpressions Against Oppressions (XAO)
XAO is back!
This year, the Xpressions Against Oppressions Series will be held November 3rd through 7th.
XAO seeks to create transformative and revolutionary ideas through meaningful dialogue and organic discussion, while taking into account our lived experiences.
Historically, the XAO series has been a series of workshops, panels and discussions centred around social and political topics like combating anti-racism, the fight for self-determination, rights of marginalized peoples, and free and accessible education.
Join us for our annual Xpressions Against Oppressions Key Note!
This year, we are thrilled to invite trade unionist Chris Smalls, and author and organizer Jenan Matari to join us in conversation about their work and activism. The keynote will have speeches from both Chris and Jenan and will be followed by a moderated Q&A featuring your very own Vice-President Campaigns and Advocacy, Symone Lennon.
Tickets are $2.00 for York University undergraduate students and $5.00 for community members (anybody other than a York University undergraduate student). Chris will be joining us in person, and Jenan will be joining us via Zoom.
Lessons From the Frontlines will be taking place on Friday, November 7th in the Convention Centre, Second Student Centre. Doors will open at 5pm, with the event starting at 6pm.
If you have any questions or would like to identify any accessibility needs, feel free to reach out to vpcampaigns@yfs.ca.
