Cocktails for Justice! April 15, 2009

What goes well with taxes? Cocktails! Join Socializing for Justice at Cocktails for Justice to meet cool, like-minded people, unwind after work, or better yet, check out their yummy appetizers - very vegetarian friendly!
This not an all booze event; it is an all good people, good times, good fun event. It's SoJust in its most potent form - people mixing, mingling and meeting one another. We’ll be meeting at The Blarney Stone, 1505 Dorchester Ave, Dorchester, MA. at 6 pm on April 15, 2009.

Join us if you want to cross-promote your events and campaigns while enjoying great cocktails, are new to the area and looking for groups to get involved in, or you've been looking for like-minded progressives to hang with in Boston. Newcomers always welcomed!

Don't drink? That's fine. Plenty of folks don't. The emphasis here is less on the cocktails and more on the socializing. And even more so on the justice.

No Program. No Speaker. Just us.
RSVP yes, maybe or no at www.sojust.org
Hey organizers! If you're involved with a group or project and want to spread the word bring flyers for the free lit table - and there'll be lots of opportunity to schmooze and network.

* Located very close to the Fields Corner T stop on the Red Line. Turn right onto Dorchester Ave and The Blarney Stone is 2 blocks up on the right.

From our FAQs:
"It's not very easy for me to meet new people and I'm not really one for small talk at bars."
We hear you. That's why at SoJust events, in addition to traditional name tags, we have "Ask Me About" and "Looking For" tags. That way you can slap whatever you're into lately up on your shirt and wait for fellow SoJusters to approach you. These seem to do the trick of moving past the basic "what do you do for work? where do you live?" questions to conversations that lead to more substantial connections.
"What actually happens at events?"
You'll always be greeted by friendly folks who can help get you socializing, introduce you to people, and chat with you about questions or wishes. It's likely a few people will be there promoting their campaigns and issues (yes, SoJust welcomes that sort of behavior). At our bigger events, there's always a literature table to toss down flyers, postcards, and other paraphenalia about events around town. Most importantly, we can pretty much guarantee there will be someone there you've never met before. As one of our members said, "You are bringing together people who might never get together otherwise - if that ain't a step towards justice I don't know what is."

Want to connect outside of SoJust events? Members can view and post events, job & volunteer announcements, roommate searches, etc. on the 'Message Board' and 'Calendar'
