KFTC Members Arrive at the US Social Forum in Detroit

At 1am last night, the first KFTC members boarded buses that would take them across the country, picking up activists to bring them to the US Social Forum in Detroit.  Twelve hours later, we have arrived!

For the rest of the week, we'll meet with grassroots organizers and leaders from across the country and beyond to learn from one-another in a wide range of workshops, actions, and other events.

KFTC members will help to facilitate workshops such as "The Struggle for Justice in the Coal fields of Appalachia and Colombia," "A discussion of the life and example of Anne Braden, and "Appalachian Economy in Transition."

Later tonight is the opening ceremony and march.  Check back for pictures of that and other updates throughout the week.
