The inaugural Organizations in Solidarity conference is hosted by Women of Color Advancing Peace and Security (WCAPS) United States and United Kingdom Chapters. This conference is opening dialogue and delivering programming around ways to combat racism and discrimination in all of its forms, in order to diversify the fields of peace and security, foreign policy, and national security. 

The two-day conference features listening sessions, showcasing our 13 working groups that coincide with our 12 commitments outlined in our Solidarity statements “Standing Against Racism” and Forming the Future which is dedicated to including early and budding career professionals. Participants will have an opportunity to hear from leaders in each of our groups as well as engage in dialogue about ways in which to better tackle these issues. The conference will culminate in a Career Fair, that will allow candidates from diverse backgrounds to meet and network with organizations from across the peace, security, and foreign policy fields and learn about opportunities for advancement.

This conference is unique in its continued commitment to elevate and support diverse voices and perspectives and give fair recognition to Black and People of color for their work in the field. We are ‘Standing Together in 2021’, committing to creating a united front where people of all colors can be treated with equity, fairness, and respect!
