[act-ma] 1/31 Connecting for Justice (SoJust Open House) - will you be there?

[Robbie Samuels]

91 RSVPs at www.sojust.org - we're expecting 120 to attend - help us get
over 100 RSVPs!

*Meet like-minded progressives and get connected to great social justice
organizations in Boston*. *Haven't been to a Socializing for Justice
event?* It’s
time to meet the friendly faces of the group that’s grown to over 2200
members, hosted 140+ events and fostered hundreds of connections since our
founding 6+ years ago.

SoJust is all about building a cross-issue progressive community and
network in Boston. We're doing it by putting the SOCIAL back in SOCIAL
JUSTICE. We focus on creating welcoming spaces that foster
relationship-building across issue silos. Join us if you are ready to go
BEYOND ALLIES and build a CROSS-ISSUE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT.

*RSVP at www.sojust.org - Newcomers always welcomed!
Cost:* $5-$20 collected at the door. *Complimentary appetizers will be
provided.*
(every $10 includes raffle ticket for a $20 Trader Joe's gift card) *

*

 *THIS IS NOT A MEETING - IT'S A FUN NETWORKING SOCIAL!
*No Program. No Speaker. Just Us. For Justice.

*As always we'll help you meet people - so no worries if you're new to
SoJust*, plus we'll have "I'M LOOKING FOR" and "ASK ME ABOUT" tags at our
CONNECTIONS CORNER, which is staffed by our amazing STARZ (regular
attendees).  We'll also have our wildly popular JOBS BOARD and ACTION
STATIONS to make it even more likely you'll make the right connections.

*WANT TO CROSS-PROMOTE YOUR EVENTS AND CAMPAIGNS?* Looking for like-minded
progressives to hang out with in Boston? Are you new to the area and
looking for groups to get involved in? Are you psyched about building
strong cross-issue coalitions? Join us!

*YES, WE MEAN YOU.* Members are all ages, races, genders, sexual
orientations, levels of activism and professions. Some just moved to Boston
and others were born here. We hope you see someone like yourself and meet
someone you otherwise wouldn't have.

*HEY ORGANIZERS!* If you're involved with a group or project and want to
spread the word bring flyers for the free lit table. ACTION STATIONS - if
you have an action that can be done in 2 minutes (sign a petition) or
within 2 weeks of the event (attend rally, stuff mass mailing) bring it so
SoJusters can get connected to you and your work. This is not a typical
tabling event, there'll be lots of opportunity to schmooze and network!
Email robbie at robbiesamuels.com for more information about the Action
Stations.

**

ACCESSIBILITY: 18+, must be 21+ to enter after 7PM. The venue is physically
accessible - please note that the elevator is at the rear of the venue and
we've been told that bathrooms are big enough for manual, but not large
motor-powered, wheelchairs.

PARKING: Lir is across from the Hynes Convention Center. Parking near Lir
is really hard - you could get lucky or you could drive around for 30 or
more minutes. There are parking garages by Back Bay station. Best bet is to
take the T to Back Bay or Hynes Convention Center (which is the closest T
stop).
