Student Organized Consent Conference in Seattle (SOCCS) is a youth-led conference about building cultures of consent at our schools and beyond. This year, our theme is Burn it Down: Igniting the Conversation About Sexual Assault and Consent. Join us on March 8 at UPrep for a day full of amazing speakers, affinity spaces, and 33 workshops on topics like safety in college, listening with compassion, community organizing, and activism through writing. SOCCS is open to all high school-age students, parents/guardians, and educators.
