Resistance Conference 2012
Featuring guest speakers from Australia and around the world – from the UK, Middle East, New Zealand and the Asia Pacific Region. Keep an eye on the website and facebook for speaker and program updates.
With the Arab Spring in the Middle East, anti-austerity protests across Europe and the Occupy movement in the US and beyond, 2011 was a year where the people of the world dramatically stood up to take centre stage in world politics.
2012 is a year where these processes are still in motion. Globally the richest 1% continue to build their wealth - while poverty goes unchallenged. If this makes you angry, come along to the Resistance Conference and help make 2012 a time of revolution!
