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.

My Interests |
|
| A "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. | |
