We invite you to come for the full day
or whatever part(s) you can


Here’s the schedule
* includes lots of small group discussion, variety of activities, and times
to come together as a whole group … plus breaks!

Morning (start at 10:30am)
* Getting to know each other on an individual basis

… both on a societal level, and in our groups/projects
* Intro to what we can do together

Afternoon (approx 1:45)
* In-depth small-group discussions on self-selected topics

Some items that might be discussed:
* Creating ways to learn from each other
* Developing the skills and tools needed to organize
* Building activist infrastructure and networks
* Accessing resources
* Shared projects like: online event calendar, independent media, regular
community events
* and more


BUT …

It really depends on you. This event will be ‘self-directed’ in that it will
be participants’ interests that guide the discussion(s)

We are hoping that this will help foster an ongoing process of collaboration
and coming together…

But again, it really depends on you


Hope to see you there!
