APIs to Gather at Detroit - U.S. Social Forum

API individuals and organizations across the U.S. are planning to join thousands of other activists in Detroit this June at the second gathering of the U.S. Social Forum.

Presently, API groups are planning for a variety workshops; the call for workshops is open right now. For APIs overall, API Movement Building will be coordinating a social gathering and an exchange about ongoing work if there is sufficient interest.

Representatives and members from Chinese Progressive Association, API Movement Building, Asian Pacific Islander Youth Promoting Advocacy and Leadership, Viet Unity and PILA, Domestic Workers United will be there.

Other groups expected to attend include Asian Immigrant Worker Advocates, Californians For Justice, Down Researchers, Coleman Advocates, Asian Pacific Environmental Network, and&nbspAsian Communities for Reproductive Justice, and CAAAV

Because the Great Recession has strained group finances, many are fundraising to send individuals. Other individuals are going on their own.
