<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Social Justice Institute - Building our Movements
for Change</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We all know that environmental justice is not
separate from economic justice, gender issues, racial justice, etc. And we know
that a coordinated action plan is more effective than individual independent
ones. But how often do we take the time to really talk, across the sectors
of justice work, across our Maritime region, so that we can do the
necessary coordinating, collaborating and learning from each other?
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is a unique opportunity to do just that. Join
with activists from the Black community, environmental movements, anti-poverty
organizations, feminists and international solidarity movements, to reflect,
strategize and examine how our movements intersect. Share what you are learning,
and identify what is needed to build effective coalitions, alliances
and movements for transformation in the Maritimes and around the
world.</FONT></DIV>
