 '''WHAT IS THE FORUM?''' Workshops, panels, celebrations, family reunions, film fests, tents for dialogue & activities, actions, marches, cultural experiences, learning, sharing, strategizing, coordinating to build our movements!
-'''WHY DETROIT?''' Detroit in 2010 is the perfect place and time for the Social Forum. The creative and imaginative activism building across the city over the past several years has earned Detroit the nickname "Solution City." At the same time, Detroit is ground zero for the economic crisis facing millions of people in Michigan and across the nation. So while Detroit is one of the best examples of the failures of the current system, it is also one of the best examples for how to build and create a new, just world.
