Get Connected in 2012 with Socializing for Justice

Get Connected in 2012 with Socializing for Justice
Grassroots group building a cross-issue progressive network since 2006

On January 19th from 6-9PM, Socializing for Justice will be hosting it's largest event of the year, Connecting for Justice, at Lir on Boylston.  This open house event draws 120+ progressives of all stripes and is a great way to get connected to SoJust's cross-issue progressive community.  This is a welcoming space where all attendees, diverse by age, race, gender, sexual orientation, newness to Boston, and experience with activism, come together to “put the SOCIAL back in social justice!”  Newcomers and long-time members will celebrate the remarkable success of this member-driven, volunteer-run grassroots group.  Since 2006, SoJust has grown to over 1800 members and hosted nearly 110 events.

Socializing for Justice is the brainchild of local activist, community organizer, and event planner, Robbie Samuels. For the past decade, Robbie has been a leader within Boston’s progressive community. He has been recognized for his efforts - in 2011, his birthday, September 16, was declared "Robbie Samuels Day" by the Boston City Council. In creating SoJust, Robbie has combined fun, socializing and cross-issue mobilization as never before.

The vision for SoJust comes from Robbie’s firsthand experience. He wanted to address what he was repeatedly finding in his work – that individuals, organizations, and campaigns stunted their effectiveness by focusing solely on single-issue work.  He shares, “I believed we could get people representing multiple progressive issues into a room, connect based on our overlapping values and more effectively fight for social justice. We need to be building a cross-issue progressive movement."

At Connecting for Justice, participants can experience the connecting power of Socializing for Justice for themselves. There will be Action Stations to link attendees with local organizations, “I’m Looking For” and “Ask Me About” tags, a Jobs Board filled with openings from other social change groups and a free Literature Table. These features mirror options on SoJust’s website,www.sojust.org, an online hub where social justice events, job and volunteer opportunities from other social change organizations are cross-posted on the Calendar and Message Board.

Get involved with Boston’s fastest-growing cross-issue progressive community. Network with like-minded progressives and find the opportunities you’ve been searching for. In the words of Robbie, ““If you think this group MIGHT be for you – it is.”  Learn more and RSVP for Connecting for Justice at www.sojust.org.

Local Charity Supports AIDS Orphans in Kenya - “One Village at a Time”

Local Charity Supports AIDS Orphans in Kenya

“One Village at a Time” to celebrate fourth annual “Harambee” fundraiser

Boston, MA…What started as the vision and compassion of one woman has blossomed
into a thriving organization providing invaluable services to some of Kenya’s most
needy. “One Village at a Time” is the work of Susan Gross. Gross, who traveled to
Nambale, Kenya in 2002 witnessed first hand the loss and devastation that the AIDS
epidemic has had on children. “One Village” was then created and the work of the
non profit now empowers African villages to create small, sustainable programs for
AIDS orphans and their villages. “One Village” will hold its fourth annual “Harambee”
Swahili for a “joyous get together” on Saturday April 30th in the South End of Boston.
The evening will include an open bar, delicious food from B.Good, live music and
an impressive selection of silent auction items including a one week getaway to
Moonlight Basin Montana, Red Sox tickets, Golf at Blue Hills Country Club and much
more. “One Village is a labor of love,” says Founder and Executive Director Susan
Gross “After seeing the way AIDS has ravaged villages and torn apart families I had to
do something”. “Now through this charity, we can all help and make a huge difference”.
Every dollar raised for “One Village” goes directly to helping the children and their
villages. “One Village” and its Executive Director travel to Nambale, Kenya to work with
the villagers to develop new coalitions and deliver donations to ensure that no dollar is
wasted.

Tickets are $45 advanced purchase and $50 at the door.
$25 helps an AIDS widow/mother start a business

About One Village at a Time

One Village at a Time is a non-profit, non-government organization, which strives to create small, sustainable programs for AIDS orphans and their villages. One Village is dedicated to a strong, steady approach to eliminating the burden AIDS orphans place on isolated rural villages. The center of rural African economic life is the family. So in addition to everything else, children orphaned by AIDS lose access to the economic engines which can sustain them. One Village helps their partner villages muster their own resources, increase the interdependence among the families, and increase the local economic resources so that all members of the community benefit.
