Hey fellow activists & organizers!
Looking for an alternative economy? Need a ride to the airport, help with
your garden or a massage? *Join Socializing for Justice for a Skillshare on
Time Banking in the Time Trade Circle on June 6, 6:00 - 8:30 PM.
RSVP at http://www.sojust.org (newcomers always welcome!)
*
SoJust hosts events that draw progressives of all stripes that share common
values but may work on different issues. We create social spaces that allow
for the possibility of cross-issue connections and run a Skillshare Series,
hosted by The NonProfit Center*, which builds our individual capacity to
make a difference in the world.
Since this is a TTC Orientation, we're waiving our regular skillshare fee.
Please donate $2 at the door to cover group expenses.
SCHEDULE
6:00-6:30 Socializing - *bring your own dinner *
6:30-8:30 Orientation and Q & A
*Time banking in the Time Trade Circle (TTC)*
This workshop will talk about time banking - exchanging services based on
time - and tell you all about the Time Trade Circle (TTC), a local time bank
with 800+ members all over the greater metro-Boston and Eastern-Mass area.
The workshop will explain how to join if you are interested, and forms will
be available. I'll explain how time banking is different from bartering, how
our local Time Trade Circle time bank works, what kinds of services people
trade, and how members participate through their online account.

*Socializing for Justice - www.sojust.org*
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 1750 members and 4 1/2 years of creating a diverse cross-issue
community in Boston (95+ 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.
