"This is how we do it": dialogues about another world

There will be a livestream (starting tomorrow, Friday - 7 pm EST so midnight Irish time, but the weekend events are at easier times) of this remarkable event:

THIS IS HOW WE DO IT
A Festival of Dialogues
about another world ///
/// under construction 
 
Friday, April 20 at 7p in The Great Hall
GRACE LEE BOGGS in conversation with ANDREA SMITH and NELSON JOHNSON moderated by AMY GOODMAN

Saturday & Sunday Afternoons in The Rose Auditorium
 
Show-and-Tell presentations from South Africa, Argentina, Brazil and throughout the US

There are people and communities all across the world who are no longer waiting for the systems around them to change, who are engaged in alternative practices right now -- in the workplace, in politics, in public safety initiatives, in media and communications, in new economic systems and more. This year Foundry Dialogues will feature the practices and experiences -- the how -- of some of these remarkable innovators.

In our lifetimes, in these times, how do we realize a more just, democratic, sustainable way of life? This is how we do it.
 
It features presentations from members of Brazil's Movimento Sem Terra and the Brazilian Solidarity Economy Forum, The South African Shackdwellers' Movement (Abahlali baseMjondolo), La Vaca (an Argentinian communicationscooperative) as well as seasoned elders and newer organizers from throughout the US and the city.
