About this Event

In this 41st Annual EWOCC, we set out to create a space to celebrate the radical, unyielding, and deeply intentional love that womxn of color embody as we build, resist, heal, and transform. We will reflect on the importance of community building, solidarity, and collective power while embracing self-care and love. We will be featuring workshop presenters, a Q&A panelist session, as well as a catered lunch and light refreshments!

$1 of each ticket sale will go towards the payment of our Shuumi Land Tax. The Shuumi Land Tax is a voluntary annual contribution that non-Indigenous people living on the Confederated Villages of Lisjan’s territory can make to support the critical work of the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust.

The 2026 conference artwork is designed by Soni Lopez-Chavez. Born in Cuitzeo de Abasolo in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico, Soni pulls from her Chichimeca heritage and lived experience as a first-generation immigrant to empower historically marginalized communities. Soni’s art covers a wide variety of different topics and causes. A representation of her Indigenous ancestry, her life lived back and forth between two nations.
