The conference is by and for high school students but all are welcome.
SASS works to implement codes of conduct for the apparel purchased by their schools and encourages use of union made apparel items at schools. SASS visits other schools and organizes non-violent demonstrations. SASS's goal is to contribute to the labor movement by organizing from the place where we spend most of our time, our schools.
