My first CSTI (Community Strategic Training Initiative) was in 1994 when I was visitng from New York and the focus was on "Fighting the Right". I recall that Loretta Ross and other major thinkers and visionaries were sharing their experiences and strategies to help us foresee and respond to this massive onslought to our rioghts and democracy.

Being in Montana doing the kind of work we do has the potential of feeling isolating. Coming into contact with Western States Center and CSTI really opened my eyes to all the amazing organizing happening around the west. Every year when I am feeling a bit tired, without fail CSTI reinvigorates and inspires me.

The first CSTI I went to left a lasting impression. I was used to going to conferences where a broad range of issues were covered with perfunctory analysis but I had never been to one in which the presenters dealt with the provacative depths of the issues. I felt that showed a fundamental respect for CSTI participants. I remember that Scot Nakagawa was on the panel of a morning plenary.
