The Socialist Party of Boston will meet on Sunday, 27 July, at noon in the Lucy Parsons Center. We are approaching several critical deadlines related to electoral campaigns, so much of the meeting may focus on those issues. Also approaching are antiwar demonstrations on 2 August, 4 August, and 11 October, as well as the Bread and Roses festival in Lawrence on Labor Day.

7/12: Boston Socialist Kaffeeklatsch

Can't make it to the midwest for the Socialist Party Organizing Conference? Join Boston-area socialists and supporters at the next best thing, an informal get-together at 7 pm on Saturday, 12 July outside Au Bon Pain. We'll have a chance to get food and drinks, and chat about whatever catches our fancy -- from upcoming antiwar actions to the presidential campaign to music and films. This should be a relaxed and fun opportunity to meet up and chat, maybe get a drink or something to eat, so stop by and bring your friends.

Au Bon Pain is located at 251 Massachusetts Ave., in between Symphony Hall and the Hynes Convention Center, both of which have stops on the Green Line, and is just down the street from the Mass. Ave. stop on the Orange Line.
