The purpose is to orient an anti-capitalist movement towards thinking about what alternatives are available. We will explore both the desirability and feasibility of these economies; and how to get there. Come participate in the discussion, Saturday, May 15th, at the Dogwood Center, 706 Clarke Drive.
