In one week, thousands of organizers and activists from across the country will travel to Detroit for the U.S. Social Forum - a 5-day space to build relationships, learn from each other's experiences and bring renewed insight and inspiration to our movements.

Join us! The Student/Farmworker Alliance is organizing or participating in a number of workshops and discussions throughout the week. Visit the SFA site today for a complete listing of all events hosted by SFA, the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, and friends!

And, on Thursday, June 24th, don't miss our Hip-Hop Fandango Benefit (outreach flyer here: http://www.sfalliance.org/2010USSF.html) featuring performances by the Rebel Diaz Arts Collective, Olmeca and Son Solidario! Join us for a night of celebration, music and dancing (not to mention the opportunity to hang with an amazing group of current and former SFA Steering Committee members, interns, staff and organizers from every corner of the country) - all to support the crucial work of SFA and the Campaign for Fair Food.

See you in Detroit! - http://www.sfalliance.org/2010USSF.html

The museum made the trip from Immokalee to Washington, D.C. at the request of the U.S. State Department, which on Monday honored CIW's anti-trafficking coordinator Laura Germino as one of its "anti trafficking heroes." (Check out the CIW site (http://ciw-online.org) for more info.)
