US Social Forum 2007 

USSFI 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:

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.

My esssay "United States Social Forum" in the Network Institute for Global Democratization (NIGD) News & Notes, July/August 2007.
