Friends and Colleagues:
 
I am writing to bring to your attention a conference I have co-organized
with several other profeminist activists from around the US and Canada
(Jackson Katz, Byron Hurt, Michael Kaufman, Ted Bunch) representing various
organizations that work with men on campuses around gender equality and
against men's violence (WRC, NOMAS, MVP, Men Can Stop Rape, A Call to Men).

 
It is the First Conference for Campus Based Men's Gender Equality and
Anti-Violence Groups.  Here's the website:
 
http://www.csbsju.edu/menscenter/conference/conferenceinfo.htm
 
There's an impressive line-up of speakers and panels, including a panel of
prominent feminist women to discuss accountability, and how men can engage
with feminist activism, and a panel of men from all those organizations
listed above.  
 
But mostly this is a conference for all those men's groups on campuses all
over the country that have begun to work with women's groups around
violence, sexual assault, and other feminist issues.  If your campus has
such a group, would you please bring this to their attention?  
 
Thanks very much.
