[Crsd] March 17 at MIT: Boston Socialist Unity Project 3rd Annual Conference 2018

[Monty Kroopkin]

Dear CRSD, This event announcement is circulating in various networks and I find a couple of things about it which may be food for thought for CRSD. One is just the idea of CRSD sponsoring multi-tendency panel discussions in the San Diego region. Is that one direction for growth of CRSD? The second thing that interests me about it is that it is an example of coalition work going on at the city or regional level elsewhere. Would CRSD want to seek out and correspond with these other coalitions? It was good seeing people yesterday. Solidarity,mk
