I thought it would be a good idea to have my inaugural posting be about my current place of residence: Woodstock, GA.

The first US Social Forum was in Atlanta, Georgia where several thousand people came together under the theme of “Another World is Possible and Another US is Needed”. I wasn’t sure what I had to offer among thousands of committed people to social justice, but it was a great place to examine my personal role and what more I should be doing to create a more just world. ... read more
