USSF07: "Another U.S. Is Necessary"

IMC-US, 27.06.2007

The first ever United States Social Forum opened on Wednesday, June 27 with a march of thousands through downtown Atlanta protesting a proposal to privatize Atlanta's only public hospital. (Report & Photos from DC-IMC) Trade unionists, peace activists, community organizers, students, IMCistas, and others are converging on Atlanta this week to march, rally and develop strategies in their fight against the ultra-right. An Indymedia Caucus is scheduled for Saturday at 5pm, near the Pine Street stage in the park, or inside at the Indymedia table in case of rain.

Indymedia volunteers produced a special USSF 2007 print edition of Indymedia.US, with a roundup of recent local features from around the country and information about lots of indymedia projects, for distribution at the forum. Download it here.
