1) The consultation about the WSF 2009 objectives of
action is launched
The consultation proposed by the WSF International
Council (IC) is already
online at
http://www.fsm2009amazonia.org.br/wsf2009.php. It
aims to identify
objectives of action that will allow us to reinforce
even more the dialogue
and the construction of alliances between various
organizations, movements
and networks from the Pan-Amazon region and from the
world.
The consultation has as a starting point the nine
objectives defined for the
WSF 2007 that took place in Nairobi (Kenya). The
proposal is that, like in
Africa, the activities that will happen during the
World Social Forum (WSF)
2009 in the Amazon are organized around these
objectives of action.
We present below the goals adopted for the
organisation of the WSF in
Nairobi - 2007:
1. For the construction of a world of peace,
justice, ethics and respect for
different espiritualities, free of weapons,
especially nuclear ones;
2. For the release of the world domain by
multinationals, financial capital,
the imperialist domination and unequal systems of
commerce;
3. For universal and sustainable access to the
common property of mankind
and nature, for the preservation of our planet and
its resources,
particularly water and forests;
4. For the democratization of knowledge and
information and for the creation
of a system of shared knowledge with the dismantling
of Intellectual
Property Rights;
5. For the dignity, diversity, ensuring the equality
of gender and race and
elimination of all forms of discrimination and caste
(discrimination based
on descent);
6. For ensurance (lifetime use of all people) of the
economic, social,
human, cultural and environmental rights,
particularly the rights to food,
health, education, housing, employment and decent
work;
7. For the construction of a world order based on
sovereignty,
self-determination and on people's rights;
8. For the construction of an economy centred on
people and sustainability;
9. For the construction and expansion of truely
democratic political
structures and institutions with the participation
of people in decisions
and control of public affairs and resources.
The same applies to the physic space of the event.
The IC wants to know if
the set of objectives contemplates the matters that
must be discussed in the
WSF 2009 or if there is a need to add or modify any
of the objectives,
having as a guide the struggles, actions and
campaigns that the consulted
organizations have been dealing with.
The goal of the consultation is to guarantee the
voice and participation of
a larger number (the largest possible) of entities
and people in the process
of updating or confirming the objectives of action
of the WSF.
The answers to the consultation can be written in
Portuguese, English,
Spanish and French and sent until the 6th of June.
In order to access the
consultation, you have to go to the WSF 2009 Amazon
website (
http://www.fsm2009amazonia.org.br/wsf2009.php).
There will be the text
written by the IC explaining the consultation and
its objectives. You only
have to click on the indicated button, answer the
questions and fill in the
data about the organization, responsible person,
country and contact.
2) Website towards the World Social Forum 2009 in
the Amazon
The consultation also launches the virtual space -
http://www.fsm2009amazonia.org.br/ - dedicated to
the preparation of the WSF
2009 in the Amazon, where all organizations,
networks and movements that
share the dream that another world is possible will
be able to obtain and
exchange information and help building yet one more
edition of the WSF,
which for the first time is happening in the Amazon.
The website will be updated periodically with
information on a set of themes
linked to the participation on the 2009 event
(registration of
organizations, individuals, activities, volunteers,
stands, press
accreditation, and others). Put it on you favorites
list and check it
regularly.
