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.
