Are you:

with others and building your skills?

issues affecting health?

international movements for health and human rights?

between health issues and broader issues of equality and justice? 

 

Then join us and your colleagues this June, as the International
People's Health University (IPHU) presents Promoting Health for All -
four days of learning and discussion at the first-ever US Social Forum
in Atlanta, Georgia <http://www.ussf2007.org/> . Each day of the IPHU
includes two hours of presentations by faculty followed by two hours of
discussion and activities. Afternoons and evenings are free for
exploring the hundreds of workshops and presentations at the US Social
Forum and networking with other leaders and activists.


Topics will include: 

o            Healthcare as a human right-not a commodity to be bought or
sold

to health and healthcare within the United States
