SYRFs Up, Steven!

Whoa!  We have been working on so many exciting projects here in the 
SYRF shop, it was tough to choose what to feature in this edition of the 
SYRForecast. Have no fear, I saved some of the good stuff for our next 
edition so you won't get bored.

I hope you'll take some time to peruse (yes, I sad peruse) our new 
website 
<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001U_KqadqNb_FMOxgooClzOlBPOtWuRihAP8Dm7lOge7AHMTs8Bgs1HiWNeHw6LB4Q0pnZituYgyaPqsCg_7qqgBsH54Ev8TYfwdR5LrCuXp4=> 
because it is really fantastic. (I am not biased or anything.) I can't 
wait to log on and chat with you and see the fun things you post to your 
profiles...so be sure to add me as a friend!

In addition, I am SO excited about this year's National Black Religious 
Summit 
<http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001U_KqadqNb_HLMhvScNYGMNpqSzo4jD0tcMMYgNbri7t5k6EU6tawzM_60Qm1KM4gh1l8voDaMKV_6xyrlP0i4BWwE89RTH386FZaZ5d6xfnnxsVEy38etDKZ7T_siXxWVsKotlHvtwAwtauUGv64aaVQP_KXpima>.  
I can feel the energy around our office as we gear up for the big 
event--please take a look at your calendar and let  us know if you can 
make it (July 9 to 11).  Remember, young adults get free registration!

See you at the Summit,
Emily

Join us at the Conventions!

The Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice is looking for 
enthusiastic young people to help with our visibility efforts at the 
Democratic National Convention (Denver, CO, August 25-28) and the 
Republican National Convention (Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN, September 1-4) 
this summer!  Hotel space is tight, so if you have a place to stay in 
either of those cities--all the better.  Contact us 
<mailto:info at syrf.org> if you're interested in helping out.

"The more deeply immersed I became in the thinking of the prophets, the 
more powerfully it became clear to me what the lives of the prophets 
sought to convey: that morally speaking there is no limit to the concern 
one must feel for the suffering of human beings. It also became clear to 
me that in regard to cruelties committed in the name of a free society, 
some are guilty, all are responsible."

-Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel
