From volunteer at leftforum.org Wed Mar 7 02:15:39 2012 From: volunteer at leftforum.org (Left Forum) Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2012 02:15:39 -0500 Subject: Volunteer on-site for free attendance - With 1, 400 panelists coming, we need your help! Message-ID: Dear Friends, This year's Left Forum, held March 16 to March 18 at Pace University, will be our largest conference ever, with about 1,400 panelist/speakers and 400 panels. With speakers including Michael Moore, Cornel West, Medea Benjamin, Michael Klare, Barbara Ehrenreich, M1 of Dead Prez, Occupy poets, Occupy think tank and Occupy organizers from around the country coming we expect sizable crowds. And we really need a helping hand. Much of the Left Forum is self organized and produced mainly through in-kind support and volunteerism. And while the speakers and panel organizers contribute all their time and energy towards making the panels happen, the success of the conference depends upon the willingness of the larger community to step in when the need arise. We especially need people to help with the registration process; we need folks to help direct conference attendees to the hundreds of panels, the plenary sessions and the book exhibits. We also need help with media, and to anyone who has or knows people with video recorders, please consider contacting them and/or helping by recording two sessions. Signing up for one shift does of course get you free entry into the conference, but we hope that you can do more. Signing up for two shifts creates the consistency that is immeasurably helpful to both the organizers and to the conference as a whole. Please note that we need all those who sign up to meet their commitments, and to inform us at least three days us in advance if that is not possible. Click here to sign up! Thank you in advance for helping make the Left Forum possible. Please feel free to forward and pass this on to anyone you think may be interested. Please help us in bringing these critical voices to the public!
