Introduction
Hosted by IUPUI Students for a Democratic Society (the organization formerly known as Student Advocates for Global Equality) and sponsored by a number of organizations in the Indianapolis area, the Midwest Peace and Justice Summit is an opportunity for grassroots networks, community organizers and political activists from all across the Midwest to meet and find out more about each other in an effort to promote -- as per the theme -- peace and justice. Activists, organizers, politically minded individuals and the community at large are invited to share their ideas about everything from volunteering to the electoral process.
More Details
The summit will be held on the campus of IUPUI on Saturday, March 27, 2010. All events will be held in the IT Building on the corner of Michigan and West. A map indicating the correct building is provided here, and directions are available here.
Parking is free to summit attendees. Please carpool to minimize traffic usage, and then park in the lot west of the IT Building.
