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.
