Another
World is Possible
Anti-WEF Coalition, based in New York
City. Formed in December of 2001, the Better World Coalition came together in
order to oppose the 2002 meeting of the World Economic Forum in New York. The
WEF is an annual meeting of CEOs and goverment officials who help to shape and
steer the neo-liberal agenda of corporate dominance. The Another World Coalition
calls on anti-globalization, student, immigrant, community and union organizations
and all working people to join us in protest of the WEFs destructive plans.
Anti-Capitalist
Convergence
We are calling for for a joyous, creative
resistance to the WEF's stifling grey culture of corporate conformity; actions
whose diversity of tactics will reflect the rich diversity of our city's communities.
We are calling for actions based on principles of non-hierarchy, passionate
opposition to patriarchy, white supremacy, and rule-by-elite, and the vision
of a world in which no one has to live in fear or daily terror. We are calling
for a world in which states and their wars, the economic violence and insecurity
promulgated by their corporate overlords, the hideous legacy of 500 years of
colonialism and racism, and the violence and intolerance of every kind of crusader
and religious fanatic will finally be banished from this earth.

A Clarion Call to all Area Activists

The
Public Eye on Davos
"The Public Eye on Davos
is a joint initiative of NGOs from various countries worldwide. The project
aims to provide informed criticism of the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the
neoliberal policies it promotes. At the same time, Public Eye on Davos
is the name of an international conference that takes place during the same
period as the WEF annual meeting. Until this year, both the WEF annual meeting
and the Public Eye on Davos took place in Davos.
World
Social Forum
The World Social Forum is an open
meeting space designed for in-depth reflection, democratic debate of ideas,
formulation of proposals, free exchange of experiences and planning of effective
action among entities and movements of civil society that oppose neoliberalism
and a world dominated by capital and any form of imperialism and that are engaged
in building a planetary society centered on the human being.
