    United States Social Forum 2007's Interests
GeneralA "social justice movement" is a movement of people whose consensual need is to counteract extant injustice. Racial discrimination, economic exploitation, cultural exclusion or oppression are general categories of injustice; movements form against them in terms of opposition to segregated housing, a racialized prison industry, police brutality and profiling, the death penalty, masculinist violence against women and women's bodies, corporate despoliation of the environment, US economic and military intervention in post-colonial nations around the world, and war. Labor unions, despite their absorption into the establishment, come out of social justice movements that fought for humane work conditions and the right to organize. The many movements of our recent past in the US emerged from the most dire struggles against white supremacy and racial discrimination, and spread to include women's movements, student movements, campaigns to free political prisoners, and opposition to corporate globalization. Each movement contained a panoply of organizational forms, communities, and ideological groupings; the spectrum ran from traditional communities to issue oriented affinity groups and populist gatherings. What they all have in common is their existence, and their call for justice. An anti-war movement is an especially dire call for justice, since it calls for the end of the arbitrary mass murder that war is.

About me:

Get your own Myspace Countdown

The US Social Forum is more than a conference, more than a networking bonanza, more than a reaction to war and repression. The USSF will provide space to build relationships, learn from each other's experiences, share our analysis of the problems our communities face, and bring renewed insight and inspiration. It will help develop leadership and develop consciousness, vision, and strategy needed to realize another world.

The USSF sends a message to other people’s movements around the world that there is an active movement in the US opposing US Policies at home and abroad.

We must declare what we want our world to look like and begin planning the path to get there. A global movement is rising. The USSF is our opportunity to demonstrate to the world Another World is Possible!

Visit the USSF website at www.ussf2007.org for details, including rideshare and housing boards, downloadable materials and to submit a session proposal.

Join us in Atlanta on June 27-July 1. Go to www.ussf2007.org/en/register to register.

Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone interested in getting involved and attending the USSF.

Keystone Progress is a multi-issue progressive advocacy organization that combines cutting edge online organizing and communications with rapid and hard-hitting earned media strategies. Year round, Keystone Progress will work to engage citizens from across Pennsylvania around issues of immediate state or local concern.


Our mission is to provide a strong, credible voice in advancing progressive solutions to critical community problems. But we don’t do that on our own – we work as a communications team for the entire progressive community.


We’re a marketing department for progressive ideas – a campaign that never stops. We work year-round to challenge conservative propaganda in the media and make sure that progressive perspectives are heard.


By working together and uniting around issues important to Pennsylvania residents, we will:

* Build a stronger progressive movement in Pennsylvania. We will use innovative, internet-based organizing and communications strategies and tactics to dramatically expand active public support for progressive issues and policies.

* Secure major advances in progressive public policy.

Working with other progressive groups, we will use the power of real people to encourage bold policy changes

Hello! Just wanted to say hi and wish you a happy day! My hubbie and I head to Atlanta tomorrow, so we'll wave to you from wherever we are. :) Singing Sunday, and Songwriting appointments Monday and Tuesday- and of course, a trip to IKEA and Container Store on the way back home to Nashville on Wed! So jealous you guys have those stores and we don't.
But it just makes Atlanta all that more exciting! :) Jeni

We've now had 5 years of lies about 9/11, WMD's, and freedom. The real reasons were oil, profiteering, and fascism. Not just Bush, but the news media, most of congress, and all who remain silent. And now they'll use fear to quash dissent. It's nothing new -- it's been going on for ages. War, poverty, ecocide, arrogant bullying --they're all from greed and fear, which come from ignorance. ♥ But it's not too late -- we can still learn to make peace. Talk with people. Love, Eric

Indigenous Peoples Message to the U.S. antiwar movement

We call on the U.S. antiwar movement to acknowledge that the very establishment of the United States and it's expansion was built on the genocide against the First Nations/Indigenous Peoples of the continent, along with the enslavement of African peoples.

Iraq (and the over 130 countries that have a presence of U.S. military) is just a continuation of "Manifest Destiny" which cleared the continent for settler colonization. Thus it's not a "mistake" of U.S. policy, but is at the core of the very foundation of the U.S. from it's beginnings continuing thru to today.

Thus, we say that the antiwar mobilizations that are taking place in Spring 2008 on the 5th anniversary of the U.S. war(s) on the world.

1)have an indigenous person opening the events ackowledging the above history and it's continuation into the present day and how U.S. history is linked to today's war(s).

2)that there be an organized and visible collective presence of contingents focused on indigenous peoples concerns at the mobilizations along with that presence being also on the websites, press releases, media spokespeople, et. al of these groups/mobilizations.

3)that the indigenous names of cities/towns in the various indigenous languages be acknowledged by also being mentioned to remind people of the indigenous origins of this land (for example "Manatay" for what is now called Manhattan ) along with the peoples (for example: Lenape (& others)) and the original languages.
