organizations in Boston</strong>. <em>Haven't been to a Socializing for Justice event?</em>

connections since our founding 4 1/2 years ago.</p>
<p>Join us if you are ready to go BEYOND ALLIES and build a CROSS-ISSUE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">RSVP</span> at <a href="http://www.sojust.org">www.sojust.org</a> <br>

<p><em>THIS IS NOT A MEETING - IT'S A FUN NETWORKING SOCIAL!</em> <br>No Program. No Speaker. Just Us. For Justice.</p>
<p><strong>As always we'll help you meet people - so no worries if you're new to SoJust</strong>,
plus we'll have "I'M LOOKING FOR" and "ASK ME ABOUT" tags, a CATALYST
CORNER staffed by our amazing STARZ (regular attendees), our wildly
popular JOBS BOARD and ACTION STATIONS to make it even more likely
you'll find the right connections.</p>
<p><strong>WANT TO CROSS-PROMOTE YOUR EVENTS AND CAMPAIGNS?</strong>
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!</p>
<p><strong>YES, WE MEAN YOU.</strong> 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.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color : red">HEY ORGANIZERS!</span></strong> 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
<a href="mailto:robbie@sojust.org">robbie@sojust.org</a> for more information about the Action Stations.</p>
<p>*Lir is at 903 Boylston Street 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). The venue is open to anyone over 18 (must be 21+ to enter after 7PM)
and is partially physically accessible - elevator is at the back of the
venue and bathrooms are big enough for manual, but not motor-powered,
wheelchairs.<br></p>
