I traveled to Atlanta, Georgia for the United States Social Forum (USSF) from June 26-July 1, 2007.
I blogged and posted photos from Atlanta on the webpage of the Midwest Social Forum. In particular, see:
- My report on the United States Social Forum (en español)
- Notes from the panel Other United States: The view from Latin America
- Notes from the plenary session Indigenous Voices: From the Heart of Mother Earth
- Notes from panel Forging a Grand Coalition: Opportunities for (and Challenges of) a Black-Brown Alliance
I moderated the panel "The Future of the Forum" for NIGD. Here are my notes; a more formal report will follow. Also see Thomas Ponniah's essay The Contribution of the U.S. Social Forum: a reply to Whitaker and Bello's debate on the Open Space.
