For Oaklanders that couldn't make it to Detroit for the U.S. Social Forum in June, the "Making Contact" radio show, of the National Radio Project, is bringing together community groups to discuss some of the highlights of the conference, particularly surrounding issues of immigration.

As part of the process leading up to the US Social Forum various regions hold People's Movement Assemblies as a space to coordinate and cross-pollinate ideas and prepare to go to Detroit in June.
