Games for Jusice March 30, 2008

Are you looking for like-minded progressives to hang out with in Boston? Want to cross-promote your events and campaigns over a game of Scrabble? Are you new to the area and looking for groups to get involved in? Are you psyched about building strong cross-issue coalitions while playing Cranium?



Join Socializing for Justice at Bagels Plus Cafe for Games for Justice on Sunday, March 30th, 2008 at 3PM.

No program. No speaker. Just arrive and enjoy yourself.

RSVP at www.sojust.org -newcomers always welcome!

Join us at Bagels Plus (also known as Black Seed Cafe & Grill) for Games for Justice. Bring your favorite board game or just show up to play with someone else.

At Socializing for Justice (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.

If you're involved with a group or project and want to spread the word bring flyers to share - and there'll be lots of opportunity to schmooze and network in between rounds of Boggle.

Bagels Plus Cafe is at 131 Tremont Street in Boston. It is near the Park Street Stop on the Red/Green Lines and the Downtown Crossing Stop on the Orange Line.

Fee: $2 to cover group expenses.

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 "where do you live? what do you do for work?" 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."
