JOIN the US WOMEN & CUBA COLLABORATION
 at the 2007 US Social Forum!
June 27-July 1 in Atlanta, GA
www.ussf2007.org

Part of an international process started in Brasil in 2001, the first-ever U.S. Social Forum will create a convergence so we can look beyond our own issues and explore how we build the whole into a movement. This forum will provide many opportunities for U.S. Women & Cuba Collaboration to building diverse women's leadership to normalize relations between Cuba and the U.S. governments, while working for fundamental changes in U.S. foreign and domestic policies.

More than 10,000 participants are expected to converge on Atlanta to participate in over 1 ,000 activities including plenary sessions, workshops, cultural performances, opening parade, marches, film festival and social activities. The U.S. Social Forum will address 6 core areas for plenary discussions based on key movements that have surfaced, especially in the last 18 months:
1) Women's Rights and Queer Liberation
2) Gulf Coast Reconstruction
3) War and Militarism
4) Immigrant Rights
5) Energy Exploitation and Indigenous Sovereignty
6) Workers Rights

Workshops Sponsored by U.S. Women & Cuba Collaboration
 1. Advancing US Women's Rights Through Global Feminism
 2. Why Women? Why Cuba? Building a US Women's Movement
As soon as the date, time and place have been assigned, we will post the information.

As a part of organizing for our own solidarity work. We have also been a part of the Film Festival organizing and reaching out to our network groups and individuals as well as our National Advisory Board.
