THE FREEDOM CONFERENCE

New Era Young Lords - NY Chapter (NEYL NY)

Freedom was never unconditional. It was written with limits. Defined through law. And sustained through an exception. That exception didn’t disappear. It evolved. • Through mass incarceration and prison labor • Through the school-to-prison pipeline • Through the criminalization of youth • Through policy that disciplines poverty • Through systems that extract without protection Different forms. Same logic. “The Exception is Architecture.” This is not just a conference it’s a space to study the system, understand it, and challenge it collectively. 🗓 Friday, June 12, 2026 📍 The People’s Church, East Harlem NYC 🚪 Open to the public Featuring political education, breakout sessions, panel discussions, and community spaces rooted in lived experience. If we don’t confront the exception, we continue to live inside it. 🔗 Register / Learn More: https://www.neyl.org/the-freedom-conference #TheFreedomConference #TheException #YoungLords #PoliticalEducation #MassIncarceration CommunityPower AbolishTheException SelfDetermination
