<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">We live in a world of poverty and inequality. Millions
of children around the world each year die of hunger. A war for oil in Iraq has
killed at least 1 million Iraqis and threatens to expand to the rest of the
Middle East. In the richest country in the world, 45 million people have no
health care, and an economic crisis means that millions of Americans have lost
their homes to foreclosure. Global Warming jeopardizes the future of the planet
itself.</font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">The resources and wealth that already exist in the world
provide a basis to organize society for human need and not corporate greed.
With just a fraction of what the US military spends daily on war, every person
on earth could be fed, clothed, and sheltered. But we can go even further than
this. Socialism would offer the majority of people on earth to be in
charge of their own lives and make decisions about how their cities, workplaces
and neighborhoods are run. </font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">Join us for a meeting where we will put forward this
vision of a fundamentally different society, as well as take up questions like:
how do we get from a world controlled by the rich to a world controlled by
regular people? Doesn't human nature prevent a socialist society from
functioning? What examples in human history show that a socialist society can
work? And if we have a clear vision of the kind of world we want, how does it
guide our community organizing in the
present?</font></p></div></div><br><br><table style="color: black; width: 750px; height: 146px;" bgcolor="white"><tbody><tr><td>*********************************************************************************************<br>
