The US Social Forum is more than a conference, more than a networking bonanza, more than a reaction to war and repression.
The USSF will provide space to build relationships, learn from each other's experiences, share our analysis of the problems our communities face, and bring renewed insight and inspiration. It will help develop leadership and develop consciousness, vision, and strategy needed to realize another world.
The USSF sends a message to other people’s movements around the world that there is an active movement in the US opposing US Policies at home and abroad.
We must declare what we want our world to look like and begin planning the path to get there. A global movement is rising. The USSF is our opportunity to demonstrate to the world Another World is Possible!
THE ROOTS READER
Since 1987, Community Arts Network and its predecessor, High Performance magazine, have published many stories by and about the members of Alternate ROOTS. They have started a Web anthology of these articles, plus more culled from ROOTS publications and other sources. You'll find new and archival stories about ROOTS and its activities, as well as diverse articles by artists associated with ROOTS that we hope will reveal the depth and breadth of thinking that has emerged from the ROOTS context over the past two decades. More to come…
