All of you who are interested in research, advocacy, and journalism are invited to the Applied Research Center annual conference.
I attended this a few years ago and it's great for policy people, government and nonprofit representatives, and students. If you are a consultant dealing with public policy issues, this is also a great way to make more connections nationwide.

Register today for FACING RACE 2007: Define Justice, Make Change.
From the rebuilding of the Gulf Coast to the creation of a new immigration system, questions of racial justice dominate debates in academia, government and the media this year and into the future.
With our conference, we hope to unite our movement by building bridges across issues and communities to amplify the concerns of communities of color in the intellectual, policy and popular debates that lie ahead.
The conference will open with Keynote speaker Walter Mosley and will be held in New York City from March 22 - 24, 2007 at the City University of New York Graduate Center. The conference will have three primary tracks: policy change, media and organizing.
The two previous conferences, held in Oakland in 2004 and Chicago in 2005, quickly grew to be major gatherings of intellectuals, activists, journalists and policymakers committed to the movement for racial justice in the U.S. We are expecting 500-600 people to join us in New York next spring.
We look forward to having you join us as we build a national movement for racial justice.
