In 2009, Kentucky Jobs with Justice held one of the only statewide Social Forums in the United States. This Forum was supported by grassroots activists, organizations, and communities from all across the Commonwealth.

As defined by the People’s Movement Assembly, “World Social Forums are semi-annual convergences that create open space for movements to share, connect, and strengthen beyond the boundaries of political parties, initiated in resistance to the World Economic Forum. The Social Movement Assembly was created to make and implement movement decisions within the World Social Forum. The Peoples Movement Assembly is a political methodology born from the Social Movement Assembly process and the United States Social Forum.”

We invite you to join us again in “Grounding the South: Building Our Power” September 15-17, 2023, in northern Kentucky
