Place: First Unitarian Church, 2125 Chestnut Street

More detail about the conference is down the page. But first let me say a little about why this is such an important event.

It's a tumultuous time. Change is in the air, and there's much more to come. All of us who read or write on this blog want to be agents of that change and we want it to move in the direction of peace and justice.

In the last week we've been debating big issues, some that affect every person on earth, others that affect every Philadelphia kid who may have no place to swim next summer.

One question we haven't discussed -- although we have in the past -- is how do we organize ourselves effectively to influence the change.
