One might think that a war is raging between politicians and public sector workers. Recently elected Republican governors have threatened to use the equivalent of weapons of mass destruction on state workers by passing legislation that would outlaw strikes, rescind the right to unionize and engage in collective bargaining, reduce pensions, and require workers to provide explicit agreement before their dues can be used for political campaigns.

OSU student group Queer in Flux is hosting a radical queer convergence examining the intersection of racism, feminism, and gender within a queer/trans lens through workshops, film and performance. A multitude of themes will be covered ranging from prison abolition and sex work, to writing and music as revolutionary acts of expression. Author Julia Serano will be featured as the Key Note speaker as well as many other presenters and performers traveling here from across the country.
