<p><b>RESIST Foundation has been funding social change since 1967.</b> <span>Each ye</span>ar
RESIST funds over 100 amazing grassroots organizations around the
country. These groups use grants from RESIST to develop leadership, work
on innovative grassroots campaigns, hire organizers, distribute
literature and videos related to those campaigns and demand justice on a
variety of issues. Most of their grantees reach across issues to
connect communities and struggles. Their work spans anti-militarism,
prisoners' rights, community organizing, GLBTQ justice, environmental
justice, antiracism, disability rights, youth organizing, Native
Peoples' rights and more. Since 1967, RESIST has awarded grants to
thousands of radical and progressive groups engaged in organizing for
social change. Learn more at: <a href="http://www.resistinc.org/" target="_blank">www.resistinc.org</a>.</p>
<p><b><i>What should you expect?</i></b> Our usual friendly
and welcoming space where it's easy to meet people even if it's your
first SoJust event. Plenty of socializing time to mix, mingle and
network with fellow progressives. The opportunity to learn more about
RESIST and how you can support their efforts with a donation. (<i>Consider becoming a monthly donor!</i>
Your gift of $25 a month = $300 a year. Just think, you can "buy a
round for justice" each month and help fund the movement!) Gifts of all
sizes welcomed.</p>
<p><b>SoJust is all about building a cross-issue progressive community and network in Boston.</b>
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.</p>
<p>ACCESSIBILITY: Must be 21+ to enter after 7PM. The venue is
physically accessible - elevator is at the back of the venue and
bathrooms are big enough for manual, but not motor-powered, wheelchairs.</p>
<p>*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).</p>
