a convergence of excellence

Hello friends and fellow activists!

I'm not sure if this was mentioned already, but it
certainly deserves mentioning, whether for the first
or second time:

The Midwest Social Forum (MWSF) is an annual gathering
of grassroots organizations, community activists,
workers, educators, students, and others committed to
making a better, more just world possible.

The MWSF provides an open space for exchanging
experiences and information, strengthening alliances
and networks, and developing effective strategies for
progressive social, economic, and political change.

This get-together will be held in Milwaukee, WI, on
the campus of the U of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, July 6-9
(Thurs-Sun) and will feature panels, presentations,
film screenings, concerts, and discussions led by all
sorts of progressives, including yours truly and my
friends and collaborators from Chicago IndyMedia
(http://chicago.indymedia.org/).

It'd be a thrill to see some of you there, and you can
still register for a reduced price before June 15.
Plus, if you sign up to volunteer, you can get in
totally free (including all your meals)! And, you can
arrange a homestay for the weekend (I did, and
recommend it highly. My future host and I have already
become great friends!)

More information.
A schedule of events.
Register for more.

Hope to see some of you there!
Love, Stephanie
