U.S. Social Forum

This past weekend the first ever U.S. Social Forum was held in Atlanta, GA. It's tagline was: "Another world is possible; another U.S. is necessary." I really do not know much about it, but it is exciting to think about thousands of people getting together to dialogue about how "we the people" would like to change social policies in the U.S. and sketching roadmaps of how to reach this future vision. Also impressive was the dedication of the planning team to have a dedicated youth tent, so that young people would have their own space to be heard, and also to promote an intergenerational feel throughout the forum.
