PEC and the US Social Forum

Join members of the PEC and the local peace and justice community in attending the US Social Forum. Another world is possible: Another US is Necessary.
The U.S. Social Forum will be held in Detroit   June 22-26, 2010
http://www.ussf2010.org/
What is it? Come and join thousands of conference goers to find out for yourself, but here’s a start:
The US Social Forum (USSF) is a movement building process. It is not a
 conference but it is a space to come up with the peoples’ solutions to the 
economic and ecological crisis. The USSF is the next most important step in our
 struggle to build a powerful multi-racial, multi-sectoral, inter-generational,
 diverse, inclusive, internationalist movement that transforms this country and
 changes history.

If you attend the US Social Forum, be sure to visit panels put on by Lansing’s own Peace Education Center as well as two other local organizations:

The Peace Education Center’s Workshop: Palestinian Solidarity: Past, Present, and Future
