U.S. Social Forum opens in San José

Another world is possible! Another system is necessary!

From June 24th to 28th, 2015, thousands of people and hundreds of organizations will convene in San José and Philadelphia for the third U.S. Social Forum. The Forum will host convergences, People's Movement Assemblies, workshops, film festivals, and cultural performances.

The U.S. Social Forum seeks to collectively develop people's solutions to the economic, political, and ecological crises. It is committed to the struggle to build a powerful multi-racial, multi-sectoral, inter-generational, diverse, inclusive, internationalist movement that transforms this country and creates a new world -- a world that ensures basic human rights and needs for all people.

The U.S. Social Forum opens in San José with registration beginning at 12 noon at the Washington United Youth Center.

The first day's events feature the Opening Ceremony and a March to Heal the Valley to San Jose City Hall.

A few plenaries and workshops will fill in the day's events before majority of workshops and People's Movement Assemblies take place on June 25-27. Events will take place at many different venues around downtown San José.
