Dear wonderful people,

Please attend the upcoming Logistics and Outreach meetings for Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County Tuesday, April 6 at the Ann Arbor Community Center.  The meetings will follow one right after the other, so please feel welcome to attend one or both, or parts of each.  The work of both of these committees is essential for making the Social Forum accessible to all.  You can make this your first ever Social Forum meeting...or your 2nd or 5th.  All are welcome.

Here are the details...
Logistics Meeting: 5:30pm to 7:00pm, Tuesday April 6
Outreach Meeting: 7:00pm to 8:30pm, Tuesday April 6
Location:  Ann Arbor Community Center, 625 N. Main St., Ann Arbor, MI

 

Logistics? What do you mean?
Logistics for work in Washtenaw County involves working through the details of making the Social Forum accessible to all.  There are significant barriers that can stand in the way of people participating in the Social Forum, including transportation, accessibility (for people with [dis]abilities), food, and childcare, to name a few.  If you have energy, ideas and/or resources that could go towards any of these areas, please join us at the meeting.

Outreach? What's that?
Outreach involves getting out the word about the US Social Forum and .  This can mean having conversations with individuals, holding a meeting with a community organization, making a presentation, sending an email, making phone calls, etc.  Among the greatest challenges is how community groups can take a lead role in doing outreach in their areas.  We need your help with all of this.
