Tuesday, September 24, 2024 10:00 am - 3:45 pm Marathon County Lake View Conference Center, Wausau, WI 54403 

Join us in Wausau on September 24 to learn and share with fellow advocates! We will start at 10am, break for lunch, and reconvene until about 3:45pm.  

Program

Approaching Co-Advocacy (10am-12pm, Wisconsin Room)

Co-advocacy means working respectfully and collaboratively with other programs to reduce barriers to services. Putting this concept into practice is much more complex. Together, advocates will explore what co-advocacy means to each of us and where we might identify helpful practices in different contexts.

Lunch on our own (12-1:30pm)

Breakout sessions (1:30-3pm): 

  • Housing Systems Overview and Advocacy: In this session we will root ourselves in Housing is Healing!  Explore housing systems and housing initiatives throughout the state of Wisconsin. Unearth innovative ways to explore co-advocacy with local housing programs while centering confidentiality and safety for survivors. (Wisconsin Room)
  • Immigration Options for Survivors (hybrid – join remotely OR in-person): Learn about immigration options for survivors, such as U visas, T visas, and VAWA self-petitions. We will cover requirements to apply, what the processes look like, and outcomes for survivors who obtain these types of immigration remedies. (DuBay Room or via Zoom)

Co-Advocacy Conclusion (3-3:45pm, Wisconsin Room)

We are excited to gather in person, while offering an option to join the Immigration Options session remotely!
