Another World is Possible. Another US is Necessary. Another DETROIT is Happening!

The UNITED STATES SOCIAL FORUM will take place June 22-26, 2010 in downtown Detroit. Plan It. Build It. Bring It!

THE US SOCIAL FORUM IS MORE THAN A CONFERENCE, more than a networking bonanza, more than a reaction to war and repression. The US SOCIAL FORUM (USSF) will provide space to build relationships, learn from each others 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 challenging 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!

People world-wide know that another world is needed. The SOCIAL FORUM movement has been building for years and believes that it's possible. From June 22-26, 2010 in DETROIT, folks from all over the country will gather to think about what kind of world is needed and how we can get there.

The US SOCIAL FORUM is a very special kind of gathering- one that has never taken place in this country up to now. It isn't a conference with an agenda and a program of events; it's a convergence of movements, communities & cultures whose participants produce our own agenda and our own programs.

The mere process of planning, organizing and building relationships will move you, the people you're working with, and the rest of us forward. The moment you think of an idea, you are already participating in the Social Forum.

Detroit & the Midwest are welcoming folks from the US and abroad into their home. Please join us.
