The Children's Social Forum was my main reason for going (and bringing my 6-year-old daughter) to the 2007 US Social Forum. This wasn't just childcare---a room set off to the side ... isolated from the goings-on of the larger group. No, this promised to be a forum for kids to explore the issues that we grown-ups were talking about.
The USSF will take place June 22-26, 2010 at Cobo Hall and Hart Plaza in downtown Detroit. The USSF will convene social movements from across the United States and globally.
