It will be held the last weekend in April, over two full days, where individuals and groups come together to meet, to network, to discuss issues, to inform each other, and to build community.

The Houston Social Forum will be held at Texas Southern University (TSU) http://www.tsu.edu/ -- a centrally located location that is easy to reach and welcoming to this event.
