*We acknowledge that many of our economic systems have been intentionally crafted to exploit the land and labor of indigenous people for centuries and that this impacts access to resources today. We know the same is true regarding systemic racism, which, in the United States, for example, historically exploited the free labor of people of African descent and continues to deny Black people full access to resources through unequal access to housing, educational opportunities, and the labor market to the present day. We also recognize that people not conforming to the gender binary or to heteronormativity have been intentionally excluded from employment and economic benefits for generations. The same applies to people with disabilities and more. We are so glad you are interested in our conference and we will not let economics be a barrier to entry.
