Connecting for Justice (Open House) May 20, 2010

What may seem like just another liberal social group is really the start of a revolution. What can we create together? Find out by meeting like-minded progressives at Connecting for Justice on May 20th from 6-9PM at Lir Irish Pub* - one of Socializing for Justice's biggest events of the year.

As always we'll help you meet people - so no worries if you're new to SoJust, plus we'll have "looking for" and "ask me about" tags, a Catalyst Corner staffed by our amazing STARZ (regular attendees) and Action Stations to make it even more likely you'll find the right connections.

Arrive early! Dance Party starts at 8pm
With deep respect for Emma Goldman, "If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution." We're changing things up this time and hosting a Dance Party from 8-9 after 2 awesome hours from 6-8pm of building and strengthening relationships.

RSVP at www.sojust.org (our main website and view Member Profiles, Message Board and Calendar of Progressive Events). Newcomers always welcomed!

Cost: $2-$10 (covers group expenses)

Want to cross-promote your events and campaigns? Looking for like-minded progressives to hang out with in Boston? Are you new to the area and looking for groups to get involved in? Are you psyched about building strong cross-issue coalitions? Join us if you are ready to go BEYOND ALLIES and build a CROSS-ISSUE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT.

No Program. No Speaker. Just us.

YES, WE MEAN YOU. We've got members of all ages, races, genders, sexual orientations, levels of activism and professions. We hope you see someone like yourself and meet someone you otherwise wouldn't have.


Hey Organizers! If you're involved with a group or project and want to spread the word bring flyers for the free lit table.

New this event ACTION STATIONS - if you have an action that can be done in 2 minutes (sign a petition) or within 2 weeks of the event (attend rally, stuff mass mailing) bring it so SoJusters can get connected to you and your work. This is not a typical tabling event there'll be lots of opportunity to schmooze and network!

*The venue is open to anyone over 18 and is wheelchair accessible - elevator is at the back of the venue. Lir is across from the Hynes Convention Center.
