The largest gathering of progressives and radicals in years is only two months away.

What are you doing to make the US Social Forum a success?

The US Social Forum (USSF), scheduled for June 27-July 1, 2007 in Atlanta, Georgia, is going to be a historic event. But to make it happen, each and every one of us will need to step it up.

Your involvement in the US Social Forum-planning, attending, fundraising, or organizing-sends a powerful message to the vibrant people's movements around the world. It tells them there are active movements here in this country that oppose US policies and are developing strategic community-based alternatives to our current destructive economic systems. This is a moment where we can put our heads and our hearts together and take the work to another level!

We need organizers, activists, funders, artists, allies and other conscious people to get involved.

Join us at this Bay Area information session and organizing meeting to learn more about the US Social Forum and get involved with local efforts. This meeting will be an exciting opportunity to:

Get Information! Learn more about the US Social Forum and ask questions
Build our Movement! Meet up with Bay Area people and groups traveling to Atlanta
Do Your Part! Join the local outreach, fundraising, and/or communications committees

Sponsored by:
Grassroots for Global Justice
