[WSMDiscuss] Cities of Dignity: Urban Transformations around the World

[Matt Meyer]

Dear Mabrouka and all,

Thank YOU so much, for gracing us with your powerful presence on June 1st,
and for writing us now with this exciting news. I only wish we could have a
grand in-person book launch and tour...and hope and expect to remain in
contact, in solidarity, in the period to come.

A Luta Continua!
MattM
