[Org4j-announce] Conference Sat March 12

[Organizing 4Justice]

Please check out the following details for the conference happening this
Saturday to see if it looks like something you'd like to attend.

While the name is the same, it is not affiliated with our Organizing For
Justice organization - the organizers weren't aware there was already a
group / previous Organizing For Justice conferences, and it was too late
for them to change. It does look to be along some of the same aspirations
and motivations as ours - hopefully it lives up to the name!
