Call for Day of Action and Mobilisation - January 26th 2008
We are millions of women and men,
organisations, networks, movements, trade unions from all parts of the
world,
we come from villages, regions, rural zones, urban centres,
we are of all ages, peoples, cultures, beliefs,
but we are united by the strong conviction that
ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE
With all the richness of our plurality and diversity and our
alternatives and proposals, we struggle against neo-liberalism, war,
colonialism, racism and patriarchy which produce violence, exploitation,
exclusion, poverty, hunger and ecological disaster and deprive people of
human rights.
For many years we have been resisting and constructing innovative
processes, new cultures of organization and action from the local to the
global, in particular within the processes and Charter of Principle of
the World Social Forum
from which this call emerges.
Aware of the need to set our own agenda and to increase the impact of
these thousands of expressions and manifestations, we are committed to
strengthening the solidarity and convergence amongst our struggles,
campaigns, and constructions of alternatives and alliances.
We commit ourselves to a week of action which will culminate in a Global Day of Mobilisation and Action on January 26
With our diversity which is our strength, we invite all men and women to
undertake throughout this week creative actions, activities, events and
convergences focusing on the issues and expressed in the ways they choose.
ACT TOGETHER FOR ANOTHER WORLD!
