We are planning a 2007 Social Justice Forum in Atlanta Georgia and are interested in talking with U2 to see how we can get them envolved.
UNITED STATES SOCIAL FORUM
www.ussocialforum.org
JUNE 27- JULY 1, 2007 – ATLANTA, GEORGIA
be a part of this historic moment
The Forum plans to address four key current issues—the Gulf Coast Crisis, Immigration, Environmental Justice, and War/Violence at home and abroad—through the lens of white supremacy, local/global economic justice, culture, and movement building. There will also be space for self-organized workshops that fall outside of the four issues, but are still deeply connected to the overarching lens.
At the ussf WE will……
· Convene more than 20,000 individuals from across the United States (we expect lots of international visitors) in Atlanta, Georgia.
· Strengthen the relationship between and among United States based organizations
· Provide space for political and economic education on issues facing all of us living in the Global South, especially the long-term effects of the Gulf Coast disaster and the War in Iraq.
· Provide an opportunity for essential leadership development of those in our community bases who are most affected by economic and racial injustice.
· Build a progressive infrastructure of grassroots and community-based organizations across the US South for long-term movement-building work.
