National Gathering in Detroit
The US Social Forum (USSF) is a movement building process. It is not a conference but it is a space to come up with the peoples’ solutions to the economic and ecological crisis. The USSF is the next most important step in our struggle to build a powerful multi-racial, multi-sectoral, inter-generational, diverse, inclusive, internationalist movement that transforms this country and changes history.
We must declare what we want our world to look like and we
must start planning the path to get there. The USSF provides spaces to learn
from each other’s experiences and struggles, share our analysis of the problems
our communities face, build relationships, and align with our international
brothers and sisters to strategize how to reclaim our world.
Join CRLN staff Gary Cozette, Marilyn McKenna and Jenny Dale at the gathering. For more info, go to http://www.ussf2010.org/ or contact Jenny at jdale@crln.org
