For more than a half-century, FOR members and friends of all ages have gathered at the Seabeck Conference Center, west of Seattle, Washington, for fellowship, fun, education, and organizing for peace and justice. We would love to see you there from July 1-4!
This year's conference, "Toward a Fair, Sustainable Global Economy," will feature keynoter Sarah van Gelder, co-founder and executive editor of Yes! A Journal of Positive Futures magazine. Yes! is one of the most inspiring, and most aesthetically pleasing, publications in the market.
Van Gelder will help lead a conversation about what a fair, sustainable global economy would look like, and how we can work together to get there. The Seabeck organizers write, "We must overcome the obstacles of corporate greed, militarism, racism, overconsumption, and fear. Our desire to preserve our beautiful earth for the coming generations and our sense of justice for all people will be focal points in our discussion."

FOR staff attending this year's Seabeck conference will be Mark Johnson, executive director (Stony Point, NY), Susana Pimiento Chamorro, director of action (Austin, TX), John Lindsay-Poland (Oakland, CA), and Ethan Vesely-Flad (Chichester, NY).
Susana and Ethan will join FOR National Council chairperson Andrea Briggs (Riverside, CA) and IFOR International Committee member Lucas Johnson (Atlanta, GA) in a panel conversation on "Tools toward a fair, sustainable global economy." Other National Council members will travel from throughout North America to participate in this year's gathering.
We hope you'll register to join us for an enriching and fun weekend of building personal relationships and the movement for peace and justice!
