The 2026 Rehumanize Conference in Des Plaines: Admission, Volunteering, and More
conference suburbsTickets are still available for the 2026 Rehumanize Conference!
The Annual Rehumanize International Conference will be Friday, October 16 through Sunday, October 16 in Des Plaines, IL. That's right, folks! We are hosting here in the Chicago metropolitan area, and we couldn't be more excited.
The annual conference is an excellent opportunity to learn about the full range of consistent life issues as well as build community with like-minded people. In my own personal experience it can be kind of lonely to have unusual views, and even when I don't feel particularly isolated in the consistent life ethic, I have found it profoundly life-giving to spend time with other consistent lifers and learning about the diverse ways that people live out their respect for humans.
Visit the Rehumanize International website to view the full conference schedule and buy tickets. Virtual tickets start at $25 and one-day in-person tickets start at $45. Lodging is available onsite at the retreat center for an additional fee... OR...!
Volunteer for the conference and receive free lodging at the conference center!
We have so many volunteer opportunities spread throughout all three days of the conference, and if you're willing to give us a hand, we'd like to offer you two free nights at the conference center!
The conference runs from Friday evening to Sunday morning, and we could use your help from midday Friday to Sunday afternoon.
Please let us know if you would like to help, and if so, what days and times you're available to help. We have so many open roles from check-in and registration to passing out merch to helping tear down at the end. For more information, email execdirec@rehumanizeintl.org.
Become a supporting member
Rehumanize International has four membership tiers for monthly donors including merch, a Life Matters Journal subscription, and virtual hangouts!
If you'd like your membership to support our local chapter in the Chicago metropolitan region, you can sign up through the form on our website instead of Rehumanize International's website. You'll still receive all of the perks from Rehumanize International, but your donations will go toward promoting the consistent life ethic at home.
Rehumanize Chicago has no paid staff or location, so all of the money for our chapter goes toward getting our message out directly.
We hope to see you at the virtual hangouts!

...and across social media @RehumanizeChi
We're active across pretty much all mainstream social media. Facebook, Instagram, and Threads tend to downrank activist content, and Twitter/X has unfortunately started advocating against human rights, but Bluesky and Mastodon are two great ways to connect with us, and we're actively cross-posting to all.
