World Social Forum: A call to Bay Area delegates

by calling
Calling Bay Area activists/delegates to world social forum, Venezuela
There are a significant number of Bay Area activists who are heading to Venezuela for the World Social Forum. However, it appears that most of the delegates are doing their own individual thing. Global Exchange is claiming that it has the largest US delegation to the forum, and I see that ANSWER has a series of panels/events on anti-imperialism.

This is a call for bay area activists, especially those affiliated with relatively large organizations to meet and hook up with others who are heading over to Venezuela. We should try and meet, coordinate, share resources (housing tips) and our respective areas of concern.

The WSF can be very large, and daunting - and Caracas is not your friendly small townish Porto Alegre.

I think the best group to organize such a meeting would be Global Exchange, because of their claim to be the "largest." However, others who are planning on going to Venezuela please respond to this call in the comments section, and maybe we can get something going over the next week or so.
