“Not everything that is faced can be changed,
but nothing can be changed until it is
faced.”
– James Baldwin
The White Privilege Conference (WPC)
Proven. Experienced. Action-Orientated.
Join us in Hartford, Connecticut, for the 26th WPC on March 26-29, 2025! Open to everyone, the conference brings together high school and college students, K-12 teachers, university faculty, social workers, counselors, non-profit staff, activists, healthcare workers, and members of spiritual, community, and corporate arenas.
With such diverse perspectives, WPC provides an opportunity for participants to discuss how white privilege, white supremacy, and oppression affect daily life, while giving strategies to address issues of privilege and oppression, and advance social and economic justice. We would love to have you be part of the WPC community.
