The US Social Forum, in a Nutshell

Over and over I find myself explaining to people the structures and processes of the us social forum, of which I am a national coordinator. Everything is on the website, and you can literally read all the meeting notes on the wiki, but still – I want to make it clear to yall.

I thought it might be useful to write some things up here, so folks who know me can get involved and feel knowledgeable when talking to your friends.

The forum has been around for a decade internationally, and the first one in the U.S. was 2007. Gor general info about the forum, its politics, what we believe, the charter of principles and all that, go to www.ussf2010.org.

In terms of how to get involved, there’s lots of options.
