This Saturday SWOP members convened for our membership meeting, where we evaluated the People's Freedom Caravan (PFC), the US Social Forum (USSF), and talked about next steps for our organization.

It was exciting to see that the Caravan and the USSF is still on the minds of the delegates. It still resonates and still brings smiles to people's faces. Almost all of the delegates had on either their PFC or USSF t-shirt, without coordinating before.

Be on the look out for e-mail, blogs, and flyers that inform you of the official report back on the USSF and the PFC. There is an excitement in the air about local social forums, starting with a NM social forum and possibly growing to a South by Southwest Social Forum.

We're building movement people, we're building movement.

We also talked about our Campaign for a Better New Mexico. October 2nd is Election Day, so also be on the look out for our Swopista door-knockers who will be encouraging you to vote.

At each membership meeting, Rosina Roibal our Jovenes Unidos Program Coordinator organizes an activity for the youth that isn't just about day care, it's about politics and art.
In collaboration with Out Ch'yonda, the kids performed a dress rehearsal for their upcoming show. It was great to see the kids faces after they had worked on the music, lights, and performed for the audience.
