Recess for Justice June 22, 2008

Join Socializing for Justice (SoJust) for Recess on Sunday, June 22nd at 1pm. Arrive by yourself or bring your outdoorsy friends!
Recess for Justice is going down at Southwest Corridor Park right off Lamartine and Boylston Streets in JP. (Exit Stonybrook T station on the Orange line, walk directly across the street to the park - we'll be on the field and in the courts right in front of you.)
Bring your favorite outdoor game or check out the assortment of fun we'll have on hand: Frisbees, kickball & chalk (for 4-square!), nerf football, softball (bring a glove) and whatever other randomness we can think of. If it's hot we can run through the fountain sprinkler to cool off.
Around 3pm we'll start to figure out what to do next. We might go to Ula Cafe or Java Jo's for coffee, smoothies, snacks and board games (bring 'em!).

Look no further if want to cross-promote your events and campaigns while tossing around a Frisbee, you're seeking like-minded folks to share a game of 4-square with, or are new to the area and looking for groups to get involved in. If you want to build a strong cross-issue social justice movement, SoJust is for you!
No Program. No Speaker. Just fun.

RSVP (and check out photos from the last time we held Recess for Justice) at www.sojust.org - newcomers always welcome!
Fee: $2 to cover group expenses.

At SoJust events you can hang out with friends, make new ones, find a date, get the scoop on a job, and find out what's going on this weekend - political or social. And the best part is that SoJust members share your vision of building a more just world.

Want to connect outside of SoJust events? Members view and post events, job & volunteer announcements, roommate searches, etc. on the website - just click 'Messages'. The SoJust Calendar is packed with social justice-related events held throughout Greater Boston. Help us keep it filled - tell us about events you hear about.

From our FAQs:

"It's not very easy for me to meet new people and I'm not really one for small talk."

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."
