The Open Borders Conference (OBC) is a grassroots conference with all-volunteer organizers. We want to keep the Open Borders Conference financially accessible to everyone no matter their economic status while also maintaining a space of growing language justice. We have created The Open Borders Conference Language Justice Fund and we hope that you will support and donate to ensure language justice for all. Donate once or become a sustaining monthly donor so that we can keep The Open Borders Conference accessible to everyone for years to come!

The first Open Borders Conference in 2018 was our first experience with interpretation. The 2018 Open Borders Conference conference brought 50 attendees from across the country with bilingual Spanish and English interpretation to George Mason University Law School in Arlington, Virginia. We have maintained this into the virtual world in

We are incredibly excited for the 2021 Open Borders Conference to have an expansion into trilingual interpretation for every keynote talk and panel session in American Sign Language, Spanish, and English! We were excited to learn that people wanted to come to the conference from these different linguistic communities. We hope that we receive more requests in the coming years! It is crucial to make the conference accessible to everyone.

The Open Borders Conference Steering Committee decided after this exciting expansion, we should consider a fund for those that have the financial ability and are committed to full democratic participation and respect for the human rights for all to be a part of building the Open Borders Conference Language Justice Fund with us.

We hope that you will support this crucial work. Donate to the Open Borders Conference Language Justice Fund: http://bit.ly/OBCLangJustice
