CEJ Sets Sail for Detroit and US Social Forum

The long-awaited 2010 US Social Forum kicks off in Detroit, Michigan today, and CEJ will be there in solidarity with organizers and movements from across the country and around the world! As you can tell, we are all very excited about this special event, and glad that folks from Buffalo can take part!

What is the US Social Forum, you may ask? The USSF is a 5 day process where tens of thousands of people and organizations come together to affirm and articulate values and strategies of a growing and vibrant movement for justice in the United States. It is a space for building people's solutions to the crises that are effecting us all.

With help from our friends at Buffalo Car Share, our caravan shipped off bright and early from the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church. We know there will be lots to share when we come back, and we will look forward to doing so.
