Organizing For Justice can be in 2010 and beyond!


0) **** THIS EMAIL LISTSERV ***

This announcement list-serv will be very low traffic and keep you up-to-date
on the process and progress of Organizing For Justice. Feel free to forward
this message on to anyone you think might be interested. Anyone can sign up
for the list, and you can unsubscribe or change options, at:
https://lists.resist.ca/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/org4j-announce

Note: only official Organizing For Justice announcements will be sent out.
If you have something you'd like to share, we would love it if you'd use the
forums we've set up - see #2 below


1) **** 2009 CONFERENCE DEBRIEF NOTES ****

We had a debrief meeting, and the notes can be found on the forums where you
can add your comments:
http://organizingforjustice.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4&sid=f4fe41d84f966d116d68b8e75e01e6a7
We are looking at having a second debrief/next steps meeting, tentatively
scheduled for 1pm, Sunday Jan 31. Details/confirmation will follow


2) **** ONLINE FORUMS ****

Please make use of our recently setup online forums!
>> http://organizingforjustice.ca/forum

Note: you can view and post messages without a forum account, for now. we
are only sharing the link to the forums with people who have signed up for
the Organizing For Justice listserv ... in the future, we may require a
forum account for people to post, probably whenever we make these forums
public.  but for now, we'd really like people to use them, so we're making
it as easy as possible.

Note2: we are also looking to bring in a french/bilingual component to these
forums, but we haven't yet.

Here is the setup of the forums so far (open to suggestions/changes):

* Organizing For Justice planning:
>> Vision and Strategy
>> Steps
>> 2009 conference feedback
>> 2008 conference feedback
* Ongoing local activism and organizing
>> Upcoming events
>> Campaigns & action alerts
>> Reports and updates
>> Local groups/organizations
>> Brainstorming, networking, working together
*Resources
>> Skills and tools
>> Websites etc
>> Resources for youth/children
>> News media outlets
>> Event listings services
* Discussion on general vision, strategy, analysis, issues
* Feedback and questions regarding these forums

Please check back on the forums regularly (maybe you want to bookmark the
link?) so that you can see what others are posting, and have a chance to
participate yourself. And please don't be afraid - it's easy to post, you
can choose whatever name/alias you want to use, and the more posts that go
up, the better resource these forums become for all!


**** Best wishes for the coming year! ****
