BOSTON YOUTH ORGANIZING PROJECT
"Youth Organizing Around Public Transportation"


BYOP is a youth-led, adult-supported organization that works for social
change and justice in the Boston area.  Each year BYOP youth organizers
choose a number of campaigns to work on in individual schools as well as on
a citywide basis. One of the major campaigns continuing from last year is
the campaign for the youth way on the MBTA.  This campaign focuses on the
rights of young people to have access to affordable and equitable use of the
MBTA for school, after school programs, and work.

BYOP has been located on the 5th floor of the Community Church of Boston
since summer of 2005.

JUSTICE SCHOOL -- FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH!

The Justice School is a new social justice program for children and youth on
Sundays at 11:00am at Community Church. Director JooYoung Choi has developed
a terrific curriculum to teach and learn from young people about social
justice and how to live it. The program is free and you may enroll your
child at any time during the year. We invited you to visit the Justice
School one Sunday to see what it's about, or go to www.thejusticeschool.org
for more details.

Contact JooYoung at jooyoungc at gmail.com or 617.266.6710 if you want to
receive Justice School updates, or for any questions you may have.

LUNCH ON SUNDAYS, 12:30PM

On Sunday after our morning programs, we have lunch with one another in the
