Welcome to the NYC Delegation Steering Committee's weblog!
This space is meant to be a collective resource for participating organizations and individuals to share information on their upcoming events and exchange ideas in preparation for the first Puerto Rico Social Forum. We hope that this will help to create a sustainable virtual community of activists that will not only facilitate the participation of NYC-based organizations and individuals at the PR Forum year after year, but also become a channel for the insertion of the Boricua community at large in the worldwide "movement of movements" seeking to build that better world that we know is possible.

U.S. SOCIAL FORUM
JUNE 27 - JULY 1, 2007
ATLANTA, GEORGIA
