2. THE U.S. SOCIAL FORUM (USSF) JUNE 22 -26, 2010, DETROIT, MICHIGAN.
20, 000 activists, including many from the labor movement, are expected to
attend. The USSF is an important step in our struggle to build a powerful
multi-racial, inter-generational, diverse, inclusive, internationalist
movement. For information about the Forum, including registration;
presenting a workshop; where to stay; how to get there; and how to
volunteer for local projects while in Detroit, visit
http://www.ussf2010.org <http://www.ussf2010.org/> and

Get ready for the 2010 USSF in Detroit by holding or attending a People's
Movement Assembly (PMA) with your union, organization, community, or
region! The Assembly process offers the opportunity to collectively create
action plans and political directions for our movements. PMA's are
community meetings where the goals are to identify community issues,
discuss solutions, and commit to actions. Communities make commitments at
the Assemblies about what to bring to the Forum, and what to bring back.
Throughout the 5-day Forum, organizations will hold Assemblies and on the
last day, there will be a national Peoples Movement Assembly. In the NW so
far two PMAs are scheduled: Portland OR, May 8, 2010,
http://pma.creatingdemocracy.org/ and Olympia WA, May 8, 2010, contact
yacks26@yahoo.com for more information.
