What is the WPC? 
 
1. WPC is a conference that examines the challenging concepts of 
      privilege and oppression and offers solutions and team-    
      building strategies to work toward a more equitable world. 
 
2. It is not a conference designed to attack, degrade or beat 
      upon white folks or to rally white supremacist groups. 
 
3. WPC is a conference built on the premise that the U.S.  
      was started by white people, for white people. 
 
4. WPC is a conference designed to examine issues of privilege  
      beyond skin color. WPC is open to everyone and invites  
      diverse perspectives to provide a comprehensive  
      look at issues of privilege including: race, gender, sexuality,  
      class, disability, etc. - the ways we all experience some form of  
      privilege, and how we’re all affected by that privilege. 
 
5. WPC attracts students, professionals, activists, parents, and  
      community leaders/members from diverse perspectives. 
      WPC welcomes folks with varying levels of experience to address  
      issues of diversity, cultural competency, and multiculturalism. 
 
6. WPC is committed to a philosophy of “understanding,  
      respecting, & connecting.”
