We are working hard to ensure strong solidarity economy participation at 
the US Social Forum, which is going to be an amazing amazing and 
inspiring event! Here are some highlights:

*Workshops:* There are close to 100 workshops that fall under the 
solidarity economy umbrella. You can browse all of the workshops at this 
link: Workshops and Cultural Activities <http://www.ussf2010.org/program>

*Solidarity Economy Canopy*
We will have a canopy with tabling and activities in the USSF Village. 
Let us know if you have some SE activity that you would like to schedule 
in the tent or if you would like to co-sponsor and have a table ($50-100).

*Solidarity Economy Plenary speakers: *

evening or maybe Friday depending on scheduling. Planning is still in 
flux. *
