What can we do together?

Today, we continue to wrestle with the ever-changing realities of an ongoing global pandemic and climate collapse. As we enter into a new conference season, we are asking ourselves; what does it mean to gather now? How are we holding change? How are we grieving? What is the gift of this moment?

Your support allows the AMC to thrive as we gather to build the world we need. Specifically, sponsorship supports our ability to:

Provide discounted registration rates to low and no income participants, long-time Detroiters, seniors, and youth
Provide accessibility resources such as ASL interpretation, wheelchair-accessible transportation, Spanish-English interpretation, and childcare.
Provide healing and community safety services.
Provide support for artists and movement workers to co-create and facilitate workshops that center on building the liberatory worlds we need.

By sponsoring the AMC, your organization will:

Signal to your staff and peers that your organization values equity, inclusion, justice, and care
- Provide professional development and networking opportunities for your staff who will be attending the conference
- Expand your reach with other like-minded organizations and brands who will be in attendance, sponsoring and otherwise supporting the event
Show your alignment with a conference that’s built a 20+ year reputation in the social justice sector.
Show organizational alignment with AMC’s Network Principles, grounded in listening; empowerment; and solution-oriented, strategic thinking
Join a network of people and organizations that are making an honest attempt to solve the most significant problems of our day
