<p>Dating While Progressive (SoJust Singles Party!)<br>
Tuesday, February 14, 6:00-8:30PM<br>
Lir on Boylston by Hynes Convention Center<br>
This is not a meeting - it's a fun singles party!<br>
No Program. No Speaker. (No Speed Dating.) Just Us. For Justice.</p>
<p>Yes, we mean you. Anyone who's single and/or available is invited! Attendees 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. As always we'll help you mix and mingle - so no worries if you're new to SoJust, plus we'll have "I'm Looking For" and "Ask Me About" tags and a flirty bingo ice-breaker.</p>
<p>This Socializing for Justice event is co-hosted by the Bisexual Resource Center, the Boston chapter of the National Organization for Men Against Sexism (NOMAS-Boston), and the Boston chapter of the New Leaders Council (NLC Boston).</p>

<p>Skillshare - Fundraising: Getting Past the Fear of Asking<br>
Monday, March 5th, 6:00 - 8:30 PM<br>
The NonProfit Center (by South Station)</p>
<p>We're very excited that Robbie Samuels, co-founder of Socializing for Justice (and known for his Art of the Schmooze training), is leading this engaging coaching session focuses on getting past the fear of asking and how to avoid some common mistakes. Learn an easy way to sort through contact lists and build a strong prospect list based on the 3 Cs of fundraising: capacity, connection and commitment. Learn specific language for how to make a strong ask, based on the relationship-building tips shared in Art of the Schmooze, and ten tips that will make your next fundraising plan a success. "If you are afraid to ask for money, kick yourself out of the way and let the cause talk."<br>
