YOUNG DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS
this looks pretty cool
maybe we can outreach three
i guess am a little uncomfortable about any "ism" which people could get dogmatic about...still it has its positive sides
I was wondering -- how far out on the island do you live? maybe we could meet sometime...
i have been thinking a lot about misled youth's future and the approaches we should take
you might have noticed that we have planned a very ambitious website, which is very difficult to build, especially for a non-technical person like myself. So now we are looking at the fancy website as a longer term goal and trying to figure out what we can do with what we have now
how can we start to share what we know and learn together and work on cool projects together? Should we start having events and meetings again? there are two local organizations, i want to make a space for them on our forums and get them talking about things
questions, questions...
i live in nassau county, but i'm always in the city, so its no big.
we can meet anytime you want, assuming i'm in the area. pst me some other way i can contact you so we can figure it out.
as for the other groups, let em in! we can always use more people.
i'd say we need to talk to people to figure out our objectives. i'd rather not just say "fuck the president" and that be it. there are always smaller more local objectives we can do before.
def on the meetings/events.
Man I'd love to hear Noam Chomsky speak. It's too bad none of those things ever come to Atlanta.
If I end up going (depending on price of admission) i'll prolly record shit. so yeah, i'll try and grab Noam's speech if i go.
is taking place on Feb 24th in nyc. I've been to it before and will be there this year if i don't have to work that day. I highly recommend it, and it's only 5 bucks for people under 21. www.nycgrassrootsmedia.org/
