Skills include powerful pivot tables, colorful conditional formatting, link with lookup/Offset/Match, hop with hyperlinks, clever charts, and fancy formulas. Reed will also be open to special requests, such as gathering data with Google Forms or digging into data with the Analysis toolpak. Please bring a computer to follow along if possible.

Socializing for Justice - www.sojust.org
SoJust hosts events that draw progressives of all stripes that share common values but may work on different issues. We host monthly socials that allow for the possibility of cross-issue connections and run a monthly Skillshare Series, hosted by The NonProfit Center*, which increases our individual capacity for movement building.

Since 2006, we've been building this great sandbox where we can bring progressives of all stripes together and try out new ideas in this "Movement Moment". Spaces like this are crucial as we start to reframe and build new visions for our movement(s).

With 1800+ members and 5 years of creating a diverse cross-issue community in Boston (100+ events!), Socializing for Justice is the best place to find the great people, organizations and community you're looking for while putting the SOCIAL back in social justice.

YES, WE MEAN YOU. We've got members of all ages, races, genders, sexual orientations, levels of activism and professions. We hope you see someone like yourself and meet someone you otherwise wouldn't have.
