MDS WORKSHOP-MEETING at the US SOCIAL FORUM

TO ALL MOVEMENT ACTIVISTS AND FRIENDS


We all, at least many, speak of the need for better movement
organization, more effective focus, sharper actions, wider reach,
participatory democracy, bottom up process, horizontal connections,
greater transparency, etc

The United States Social Forum is a major movement event, June 22-26 in Detroit, MI.
It is not to be missed. All the questions, struggles, best practices and good ideas will be
open for discussion and organizing.

Movement for a Democratic Society (MDS) is taking the Social Forum as
an opportunity to present our work, and the organizing model we have
developed.
This is a critical time for movement mobilization, The workshop we
are presenting is an effort to advance this mobilization.
The MDS Organizing Committee invites you to attend, (and to join the
Movement for a Democratic Society,) and help in this organizing
initiative.

The workshop is called: “Organization: what are the best structures
for political (and more) association, adequate for our needs in these times?”

It is scheduled, Thursday, June 24, 1-5 PM in Room 02-35 Cobo Center.

If you're an MDS member, the final 2 hours of the scheduled time (3:00-5:00 PM) will be a membership meeting, so that we can put into practice the principles of the discussion.
