News Activists Notebook
Sydney Social Forum Information Night 6:30pm, Thursday, August 15 Tom Mann Theatre 136 Chalmers St, Surry Hills Footage from the World Social Forum will be shown, courtesy of Actively Radical TV, as well as a short film from the US entitled "Another World is Possible": "What if 51,000 people from 131 countries put their heads together to discuss what is wrong with the world and how to work together to change it? In early 2002, in Porto Alegre, Brazil, public officials, representatives of non-governmental organizations, indigenous nations, farmers, and labor -- including 11,000 young people -- gathered for the World Social Forum. Called in response to the elite gathering of the World Economic Forum in New York, this week of workshops, panel discussions, and high-spirited demonstrations was inspirational for those attending." Amongst the speakers featured in the film are Naomi Klein, Vandana Shiva, Kevin Danaher, Wolfgang Sachs, and Rigoberta Menchu. There will also be discussion and personal report-backs from the WSF, what we can hope to achieve here in Sydney, and how people can get more involved. Entry is suggested at $3/$5 to help out with cost of venue hire.
