From August 5th – 7th, ARA Toronto will be hosting
Youth Against Hate (ARA Network Conference) 2005! The
conference is slated to take place in downtown
Toronto, and promises to be attended by hundreds of
anti-fascist / anti-racism activists from across
Canada, Quebec, the First Nations, and the United
States. This, the 12th conference of its kind, will
be an excellent opportunity for activists from
different communities to come together to discuss
racism, sexism and homophobia as it relates to their
lives and effective ways to counter discrimination and
hatred.
The conference will consist of keynote speakers, ARA
Network plenaries, workshops and other activities.
Please note that ARA Network plenaries are closed to
anyone who is not a member of an ARA Network chapter.
All other events will be open to any conference
attendee.

attend this conference. In addition, other activists,
concerned citizens and invited media are also welcome
to attend, but must be sponsored by an Anti-Racist
Action Network chapter. If you are not a member of an
ARA Network chapter but wish to attend the conference,
please contact the ARA Network chapter nearest you to
request their sponsorship. Attendees will be billeted
at the conference site and meals will be provided.
Child care will also be available.
