CISPES at the US Social Forum

[CISPES National Office]

Saludos!

CISPES has a delegation attending the U.S. Social Forum in Atlanta this week
and will be participating in a variety of workshops, including the ones
below.  Part of our goal while at the social forum is to raise awareness
about recent attacks on the social movement in El Salvador, about  the U.S.
support for such repression through institutions like the ILEA, and about
the shift to transnational forms of policing and surveillance.  To that end
we will be circulating a petition "1000 friends of streets vendors" which
seeks support for one marginalized sector in El Salvador that has born the
brunt of of state repression in the last year.

The US Social Forum is more than a conference, more than a networking
bonanza, more than a reaction to war and repression. 

The USSF will provide space to build relationships, learn from each other's
experiences, share our analysis of the problems our communities face, and
bring renewed insight and inspiration. It will help develop leadership and
develop consciousness, vision, and strategy needed to realize another world.


The USSF sends a message to other people's movements around the world that
there is an active movement in the US opposing US Policies at home and
abroad. 

We must declare what we want our world to look like and begin planning the
path to get there. A global movement is rising. The USSF is our opportunity
to demonstrate to the world Another World is Possible!
