SoJust Turns Three! Putting the SOCIAL Back in Social Justice September 17, 2009

That's right, it's been three years since our first event - we're "tree" years old! Join us to celebrate, almost 1200 members, 60 events and hundreds of connections made since then!

Once again we'll be putting the SOCIAL back in social justice on Thursday, September 17th, 6:00pm at Lir. Find us channeling our inner toddler in the downstairs Rec Room*
Our birthday parties are always our biggest events, so if you haven't tried SoJust, now is the time. Join us to see photos from 3 years of fun! We'll need all you SoJusters there to celebrate - and to eat up all the cupcakes on hand!

RSVP at www.sojust.org Newcomers always welcomed!

Cost: $2 to cover group expenses.

Join us if you want to cross-promote your events and campaigns, are new to the area and looking for groups to get involved in, or you've been looking for like-minded progressives to hang with in Boston.



At SoJust events you can hang out with friends, make new ones, find a date, get the scoop on a job, and find out what's going on this weekend - political or social. And the best part is that SoJust members share your vision of building a more just world.



No Program. No Speaker. Just us.



Hey organizers! If you're involved with a group or project and want to spread the word bring flyers - there'll be lots of opportunity to schmooze and network.



*The venue is 18+ and is wheelchair accessible - elevator is at the back of the venue.
Lir is on Boylston across from the Hynes Convention Center.

From our FAQs:
"It's not very easy for me to meet new people and I'm not really one for small talk."
We hear you. That's why at SoJust events, in addition to traditional name tags, we have "Ask Me About" and "Looking For" tags. That way you can slap whatever you're into lately up on your shirt and wait for fellow SoJusters to approach you. These seem to do the trick of moving past the basic "what do you do for work? “Where do you live?" questions to conversations that lead to more substantial connections.



"What actually happens at events?"
You'll always be greeted by friendly folks who can help get you socializing, introduce you to people, and chat with you about questions or wishes. It's likely a few people will be there promoting their campaigns and issues (yes, SoJust welcomes that sort of behavior). At our bigger events, there's always a literature table to toss down flyers, postcards, and other paraphenalia about events around town. Most importantly, we can pretty much guarantee there will be someone there you've never met before. As one of our members said, "You are bringing together people who might never get together otherwise - if that ain't a step towards justice I don't know what is."

Want to connect outside of SoJust events? Members can view and post events, job & volunteer announcements, roommate searches, etc. on the 'Message Board' and 'Calendar' at www.sojust.org.
