ESFL Love & Solidarity: Symposium & Banquet Weekend

Join us in celebrating a decade of commitment to justice, equity, and solidarity at the East Side Freedom Library's Love & Solidarity Symposium. As we commemorate our 10th anniversary, we proudly invite you to be part of a transformative gathering.

The Love & Solidarity Symposium brings together Artists, Activists, Academics, and Organizers who illuminate how communities unite in acts of solidarity. Together, we address the topic of collective action, mutual aid, and building solidarity in the face of historical injustices and ongoing challenges. explores a decade of work and commitment to the interconnectedness of labor struggles, racial equity, justice, and broader social movements. Love and solidarity emerge as components of resistance and resilience, fostering a shared responsibility for positive change. Through the lens of Love & Solidarity, we explore contemporary moments that embody these values, grounding our collective efforts toward a society where love, collaboration, partnership, and solidarity are paramount to our work. 

At the heart of what we do best is bringing the community together in conversation to produce knowledge, share experiences, speak truths, and engage in active listening. Each session serves as a dynamic platform, fostering dialogue, encouraging critical thinking, amplifying community-driven approaches, and weaving the threads of love and solidarity into the fabric of our discussions.
