2006 Chicago Social Forum
ANOTHER CHICAGO IS POSSIBLE!

Saturday, May 6
Roosevelt University
400 S. Michigan

Inspired by the highly successful World Social Forum, the Chicago Social Forum is an open space that brings together people from a wide variety of struggles and interests to discuss the social, economic, political and environmental issues that affect our local and global communities.

Last year, the 2nd Annual Chicago Social Forum drew more than five hundred participants, and 60 organizations, to share ideas, network for effective action, and participate in open workshops on a multitude of topics.

These included: Affordable housing, police brutality, gentrification, gender equality, school reform, the environment, the death penalty, war and corporate globalization.

This year's Chicago Social Forum will continue that tradition with:

**More than 70 workshops and sessions organized by community, labor and antiwar activists
**Cultural events and workshops
**Solidarity meetings
**Fair Trade Marketplace
**Book, Information and Activist Fair
**Evening Party: Salcedo Press' Annual May Day Bash
**And more!
