LA Social Forum planning meeting
We invite representatives of interested organizations to send planning delegates to work with us and we likewise invite dedicated individuals to join us in planning this event. Your interest and support are greatly appreciated. Please forward this announcement to your various contacts in Southern California.
The Los Angeles Social Forum comes at a significant time in US history. The conservative political right dominates the three primary institutions of the federal government. The US military is bogged down in the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan as public support for these invasions erodes. The disaster of hurricane Katrina and the failure of the federal government to respond have illuminated extreme poverty in the US and the race and class divisions in this country. The Los Angeles Social Forum will provide a process to build a powerful movement in this local area based on the organized voices and experiences of those from the grassroots most affected by US and global injustices. We invite activists, organizers, groups and coalitions who work on transportation,housing, homelessness, healthcare reform, immigration reform, peace efforts, environmental, human rights, gender equality, LGBTI issues and efforts for social and criminal justice to participate in the planning and our Forum in February 2008.
