I am new to the area and am excited to make connections. I study body movement and social movements for personal and social liberation, and I'm looking for good conversation about life and society!
(Your "introduction" will be visible on the homepage.) Use this space to provide links or more info: What social justice issues do you care deeply about? Do you work with any organizations or specific communities? What do you do for FUN? Thanks!
I care about demilitarization, self-determination and relationships, and a decolonial, feminist antimilitarist lens. I have worked in Athens, OH, Cuenca, Ecuador and in Colombia. This is one of my favorite podcasts: www.againstthegrain.org. I play Capoeira Angola, and that along with zapatismo, nueva cancion, and hip-hop a la Head-Roc are some of the most important things in the world to me; also my family and friends. I love learning languages and dancing.
How did you hear about Socializing for Justice? Please be specific so we know which websites, listserves or people to thank.
I belong to the Portuguese meet-up group and saw Socializing for Justice listed on someone's profile.
Hey Leah! Thanks for joining. I'm the Organizer Intern for SoJust and I also like to dance and have good conversations about life and society :). Hopefully I'll see you at one of our Happy Hours; the next one is Jan 19th, this Thursday!
Socializing for Justice (SoJust) is all about building a cross-cultural, cross-issue progressive community, network and movement in Boston based on the Philosophy of Abundance. We're doing it by putting the SOCIAL back in SOCIAL JUSTICE. We host events twice a month to meet each other and make connections. No Program. No Speaker. Just Us. Newcomers always welcomed!
**You must be a member to RSVP or post an event on the message board. Not a member?
It's free to join - share as much or as little as you'd like about your connection to social justice.
We may seem like just another liberal social group but get involved to find outwhat we can create together!
Join us if you want to CROSS-PROMOTE your events and campaigns, are NEW TO THE AREA and looking for groups to get involved in, or you've been looking for LIKE-MINDED PROGRESSIVES to hang with in Boston. Join us if you are ready to go BEYOND ALLIES and build a CROSS-ISSUE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT.
YES, WE MEAN YOU. We've got members of all ages, races, genders, sexual orientations, levels of activism, and professions - born in Boston to just moved here. We hope you see someone like yourself and meet someone you otherwise wouldn't have.
Want to know about PROGRESSIVE EVENTS in Boston? We CROSS-POST events we hear about on the SoJust CALENDAR - see what's going on this week.
