Detroit Selected as Host Site for 2010 US Social Forum -- Let's light up those movement networks!!!
June 22, 2009 USA - Detroit, seen by many as ground zero for the current economic crisis, has been named as the site for the 2nd United States Social Forum. As many as 20,000 are expected to participate in the Forum, which runs from June 22nd through June 26, 2010.
Organizers hail the Social Forum process as a powerful vehicle for change and as the next stage in community organizing, community governance and democracy.
"Despite President Obama's historic presidency, our democracy continues to be hijacked by big money and a type of global corporate governance that has resulted in the rich getting richer, the poor getting poorer, and decreased services for everyone - Detroit embodies both the problem and potential for solutions," says Maureen Taylor, USSF staff coordinator. "We believe the Social Forum process will stimulate some hope for the people of Detroit go help the people turn this city around."
