Hundreds of workshops, presentations, performances, and debates on ALL issues—ranging from poverty, racism, sexism, homophobia, able-ism, xenophobia, and ageism—will help shape future community organizing across the country following the US Social Forum next month!

In addition to these movement-led workshops, there will be six dynamic plenary sessions over the five days. They are as follows:

Gulf Coast Reconstruction in the Post-Katrina Era

War, Militarism and the Prison Industrial Complex

Indigenous Voices: From the Heart of Mother Earth
