BLOC (Building Leadership Organizing Communities) is a national network of young organizers and activists working in communities of color as alliance builders. At the US Social Forum we are officially launching myBLOC.net - taking movement building to the next level of technological advancement. myBLOC.net is a tool for young leaders to connect and build a society free from all forms of oppression by using the internet as a tool to network with other sector organizers locally and around the country.

The week of USSF, myBLOC.net will become a public site. Login and create a profile for yourself or your organization to stay connected during and after USSF, by visiting www.myBLOC.net, password: BLOC 2006, or by visiting a technology station at any one of our Launch Parties, where we make movement, music, and art that matters.

United States Social Forum June 27 - July 1, all over Atlanta

The US Social Forum is more than a conference, more than a networking bonanza, more than a reaction to war and repression. The USSF will provide space to build relationships, learn from each other's experiences, share our analysis of the problems our communities face, and bring renewed insight and inspiration. We must declare what we want our world to look like and begin planning the path to get there. A global movement is rising. Hip Hop Sustains and BLOC Network are among hundreds of organizations and thousands of individuals participating in the first-ever U.S. Social Forum. For a full schedule of events and locations, please visit the USSF website at USSF2007.org/

Another world is possible. Another U.S. is necessary.
