Special Meeting: FSP National Convention Reportback and Skills Training

Come hear highlights from the Freedom Socialist Party 2010 National Convention, held July 9-12. Members, Radical Women supporters and guests from New York City to Los Angeles, Canada and Australia tackled a wide range of topics.

The morning discussion (11am-1pm) will explore what it will take to kick the radical movement in this country into high gear. Convention participants will share key theoretical ideas on socialist feminism, the experiences of frontline fighters for immigrants rights, queer equality, and the battle to save public education, insights from a panel on bridging the generation gap in the revolutionary movements, proposals for militant ­labor fightbacks and combating the myth of a post-racial society, and more!

The afternoon session (2pm-4pm) is devoted to sharing skills training learned at the convention. Select from three concurrent workshops: Public Speaking for Rabble- Rousers, How to Find a Union Job, and Winning People to Socialist Ideas and Activism.

The requested donation is $10, which includes a tasty lunch (with vegetarian option). No one turned away for lack of funds; work exchanges and sliding scale are available for low-income, students and the unemployed.

The reportback will be held at New Valencia Hall (see above for directions).

Everyone is welcome! For more information or to arrange childcare (2 days ahead), please call 415-864-1278 or email bafsp@earthlink.net.
