The group organizing this summer’s [Finding Our Roots](http://findingourroots.tumblr.com/) Midwest anarchist conference have announced [an update](http://anarchistnews.org/?q=node/14508) on the organizing so far:

So we’ve made it through Chicago’s winter and Finding Our Roots 2011 is starting to come together!

The dates are set for June 10th-12th and don’t forget we’re still accepting workshops! We are also seeking ASL and non-english interpreters for this year’s conference.

Lastly, because Finding Our Roots wishes to foster an intergenerational community of resistance, we are determined to create a conference that is fun for all ages. We act in solidarity with kids, parents, and caregivers, by supporting access to radical activities and ideas across age boundaries. This year, in an attempt to reach these goals; we are happy to announce the Playground Anarchy Camp (P.A.C) — a weekend of fun, games, and anarchy!

And just a reminder the theme of this year’s conference is SOLIDARITY.

The concept of solidarity has long been evoked as a way of uniting many different people around a variety of social struggles. But how does this concept inform our theory and practices as anarchists/anti-authoritarians today?
