Thousands celebrate US Social Forum in the streets of Detroit

The US Social Forum got underway Tuesday with a jubilant march through the streets of Detroit. Thousands of people joined the march, which started at Warren and  Woodward and ended at Cobo Hall, where an expected 20,000 people are gathering for workshops, plenaries, parties and cultural activities focused on social justice and systemic transformation.

The march united black, white, Latino, and indigenous peoples– as well as anarchists, socialists, union locals and activist mothers, youth and immigrants and dozens of affinity groups. One theme ignited the hopes of all, “Another world is possible!”
