Introduction

Hi my name is Drew and I'm interested in meeting other people working on environmental and social justice issues in Boston.

(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'm particularly interested in initiatives that bridge the divide between the issues of environmental sustainability and social justice. I currently do work in the "food movement." I work with the Real Food Challenge, a national campaign that organizes college students to commit their dining halls shifting 20% of their budget to purchasing local, sustainable, fair trade, and humanely raised food. I also work for the Northeast Organic Farming Association of Massachusetts coordinating workshops on urban homesteading, and coordinating a program that connects community based organizations in low-income areas to weekly deliveries of local food.

How did you hear about Socializing for Justice? Please be specific so we know which websites, listserves or people to thank.

I googled "social justice meetups in boston" and voila!

Hey Drew, this is Deb Carey. I wanted to ask you, doesn't Boston have it's own meetups? I live in Amesbury which is pretty far from Boston, and while I appreciated the postings, if I wanted to go to Boston for events I would sign up for the Boston group.

Let me know what you think. Regards

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 focus on creating welcoming spaces that foster relationship-building across issue silos. The philosophy of abundance is at the root of SoJust's vision and we share several resources on our website including a list of 40+ places to post events on the web, a calendar of cross-promoted social justice events and a "Craigslist-style" message board. SoJust is not a non-profit 501(c)(3), we are a volunteer-run, member-driven, grassroots organization.

We may seem like just another liberal social group but get involved to find out what 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.
