I went to the USSF to find out what it was about and participate in as many water workshops as possible. The most amazing part was all the shoes on the mall from people who had died in 2006-7. That really stuck with me.
The USSF will take place June 22-26, 2010 at Cobo Hall and Hart Plaza in downtown Detroit. The USSF will convene social movements from across the United States and globally.
