  1. As it says on the registration page:

    Workshops, panels, and readings are held at venues clustered in the Farragut Square neighborhood of downtown DC, the heart of the capital’s social justice community – events will be at the headquarters of major labor unions and organizations working for peace, justice, and environmental change.
