WORLD SOCIAL FORUM 2005 BRAZIL

12:00 AM - 12:00 AM

Send Email |

January 26-31, 2005

What is the World Social Forum?
The World Social Forum is an open meeting place where social movements, networks, NGOs and other civil society organizations opposed to neo-liberalism and a world dominated by capital or by any form of imperialism come together to pursue their thinking, to debate ideas democratically, for formulate proposals, share their experiences freely and network for effective action.

Since the first world encounter in 2001, it has taken the form of a permanent world process seeking and building alternatives to neo-liberal policies. This definition is in its Charter of Principles, the WSF’s guiding document.

The World Social Forum is also characterized by plurality and diversity, is non-confessional, non-governmental and non-party. It proposes to facilitate decentralized coordination and networking among organizations engaged in concrete action towards building another world, at any level from the local to the international, but it does not intend to be a body representing world civil society. The World Social Forum is not a group nor an organization.

Who organizes the WSF?
Eight organizations are part of the Secretariat, which has an office in São Paulo (Brazil), and is in charge of the Forum process coordination. The eight entities that have started the organization of the first WSF – Abong, Attac, CBJP, Cives, CUT, Ibase, MST and Social Network for Justice and Human Rights – form this secretariat.

When WSF moved to Mumbai, an Indian Organizing Committee (in charge of organizing WSF 2004 in Mumbai, India) has been set up. The IOC has been integrated to WSF Secretariat afterwards.

General political issues as well as discussions on WSF future and the annual events methodologies are discussed and followed by the International Council, which is currently formed by 129 organizations.

For the fifth WSF edition, a Brazilian Organizing Committee (BOC) has been set up by 23 organizations, divided in eight Work Groups: Space, Solidarity Economy, Environmental and Sustainability, Culture, Translation, Communication, Call for Action, Free Software (linked to Communication WG).

What are the activities of the WSF?
Every year the WSF organizes a major world meeting which will take place alternately in Brazil and in other countries where the necessary structural and political conditions obtain, on the same dates as the World Economic Forum (Davos Forum) is taking place. It also promotes international Regional and Thematic Social Forums to pursue debates in specific regions and/or to discuss specific issues considered priorities by the International Council.

Who takes part in WSF events?
All organizations, social movements and civil society entities that are in accordance with the Charter of Principles may take part and propose events at FSM. Citizens that are not linked to any organization may take part in the debates.

Governmental entities and political parties may take part as observers. Governments that host WSF may be partners in its organization. Besides, governors and parliamentarians that commit to the Charter of Principles can be invited to participate on a personal basis.

WSF has the proposal of building another world without using violence; therefore it does not allow the participation of military organizations.

Is there a final saying?
WSF does not have a deliberative character. Therefore, it does not officially promote campaigns, nor has final sayings. This was the way that has been chosen to maintain participants’ diversity. Nevertheless, WSF has been the most significant space of international interlinkage for a new world. This happens because it helps participants to interlink and propose concrete action, since they do not state anything on behalf of the Forum.

Venezuela - Movie/Discussion

The Hands Off Venezuela Campaign in conjuntion with the Martin Luther King Bolivarian Circles of Boston and Axis of Logic announces a discussion and showing of the film "The Bolivarian Revolution - Enter the Oil Workers"

Venezuela is the fifth largest oil exporter, yet 80% of its population (mainly people of African and Indigenous descent) live in poverty. Since Hugo Chavez was elected to use the oil revenue to eliminate poverty, there have been many attempts by the rich elite and their Washington friends to overthrow his government. In these unique interviews, oil workers – women and men – tell how and why they saved their industry from a CIA-backed coup, how they see their struggle in relation to other working class people in the world, and how they are organizing with the community and the military to "put the oil industry at the service of humanity".

The Hands Off Venezuela Campaign is in 36 countries, endorsed by President Chavez and a tendency within the Bolivarian Revolution. There are over 400 Bolivarian Circles in the world( most in Venezuela) and represents the grassroots and Axis of Logic is web based information news service.

The 10th District Court: Moments of Trial
(Le 10e chambre: Instants d'audiences)

Directed by Raymond Dépardon
France, 2004, color, 105 min.
French with English subtitles

The proceedings of a Paris courtroom are the basis for one of the most striking nonfiction works to emerge from the continent in recent years. Drawing from over two hundred appearances in the 10th District Courtroom, all featuring the same steadfast judge, renowned photographer Raymond Dépardon provides compelling, often humorous observations of a series of misdemeanor hearings and sentencings. Using a simple, static formal structure, he captures the subtler details of human behavior which reveal the complexities of race, class, and gender in contemporary society.

The Workmen's Circle Coffeehouse:
a place to listen, to meet, to find community

Pamela Means is a Boston-based Out (spoken), biracial indie folk artist whose "kamikaze guitar style" and punchy provocative songs have worn a hole in her guitar. Armed with razor wit poetry and irresistible charm, Pamela Means' "stark, defiant songs" (New York Time Magazine) set the status quo and the stage afire. Quoting her inspiration, warrior poet Audre Lorde, Pamela asks "I am myself - a Black woman warrior poet doing my work - come to ask you, are you doing yours?" With Truth as ammunition, a Pamela Means performance brings the fight for the social justice and human dignity to the forefront of a new generation.

TVE-1 emite hoy 'Auschwitz. Los nazis y la solución final'

REPORTAJE
La fábrica de la muerte

TVE-1 emite hoy 'Auschwitz. Los nazis y la solución final', un documental del periodista Laurence Rees para la BBC

Memoria presente

La actriz María Galiana, que además es profesora de Historia, conduce la versión española de Auschwitz. Los nazis y la solución final. Ayer, en la presentación en Madrid del documental de la BBC, la protagonista de Cuéntame cómo pasó denunció que en la actualidad se siguen produciendo situaciones de racismo y enfrentamientos sin que exista el menor acto de protesta ante el "pisoteo" de los derechos humanos, y citó como ejemplo el de la base estadounidense en Guantánamo, en la isla de Cuba. Galiana expresó su deseo de que la memoria no sea histórica, sino "presente y auténtica".

En el encuentro con los periodistas también estuvo presente Enric Marco, superviviente de los campos de Mauthausen y Flossenburg y que presta su testimonio al documental. Sesenta años después del genocidio, para Marco "lo importante es la reflexión y no dejarse impresionar sólo con imágenes de los campos, porque se corre el peligro de que luego no quede nada. Esto nos tiene que llevar a la reflexión", añadió.

Lo que ocurrió en aquellos macabros campos de exterminio "lo sabían los alemanes, pero también otros pueblos de Europa", denunció el superviviente. Auschwitz fue, para Marco, un lugar "verdaderamente terrorífico". "Impregnado de todo aquel martirio", en él "se respira la muerte".

TERESA CENDRÓS - Barcelona
EL PAÍS - Radio y TV - 29-01-2005

Auschwitz, de cuya liberación por parte del Ejército soviético el jueves pasado se cumplieron 60 años, fue el mayor campo de exterminio nazi. Allí se asesinó a más de un millón de presos. La mayoría, judíos, perecieron gaseados. Pero en los inicios de esta productiva fábrica de la muerte, cuando el Reich aún no había decidido "la solución final" -en 1942, en Wannsee, se acordó la aniquilación industrializada del pueblo hebreo-, también se exterminó vía fusilamiento. Hans Friedrich, un guardia de las SS que participó en las matanzas, no parece sentir arrepentimiento. "¿Qué pensaba mientras disparaba a los judíos?", le pregunta la entrevistadora. "Nada", responde él. "¿Nada?", insiste la periodista. "Sólo pensaba en apuntar con cuidado para acertar. Pensaba en eso", contesta entonces. "¿No sentía nada por aquellos civiles judíos?", persevera ella. "No. Porque mi odio hacia los judíos es demasiado grande", confiesa al fin este pulcro viejecito ante la cámara. Él es uno de los muchos, y desgarradores, testimonios recogidos en el documental Auschwitz. Los nazis y la solución final, producido por la BBC, que emite hoy La Primera de TVE (23.00).

El filme, de 110 minutos de duración, que firma el director creativo de BBC History, el escritor y periodista Laurence Rees, integra un ambicioso proyecto para mantener la memoria del Holocausto que comprende también una serie de seis capítulos de una hora -el documental es un compendio de todos ellos-, que ofrecerá La 2, y un libro homónimo, publicado en España por Editorial Crítica.

El largometraje que podrán ver los telespectadores españoles, preestrenado el pasado miércoles en la Facultad de Comunicación de la Universidad Ramon Llull de Barcelona, ha sido adaptado por la productora de Ramón Colom, Sagrera TV. Esta versión, a cargo de Jaume Serra y David Vilella, incluye una presentación de la actriz María Galiana e introduce los testimonios de tres supervivientes españoles de campos alemanes: Jaume Álvarez y Enric Marco, del de Mauthausen, y Neus Català, deportada al de Ravensbrück.

El documental mezcla entrevistas -tanto los recuerdos de las víctimas como los de sus carceleros son escalofriantes- con imágenes históricas y fieles dramatizaciones. Usa además novedosas técnicas gráficas por ordenador para recrear las dependencias del campo.

Auschwitz. Los nazis y la solución final se sustenta sobre dos tesis principales. La primera tiene que ver con su funcionamiento: este campo, situado en la Polonia ocupada, se convirtió muy pronto en una macabra factoría de cadáveres que operaba como una moderna cadena de montaje; en él, el sanguinario comandante Rudolf Hess -que, tras ser juzgado, fue ahorcado en ese mismo lugar en 1947- aplicó el sistema productivo de cualquier industria.

La otra se refiere a la responsabilidad de los verdugos en el genocidio. Si bien es innegable que recibían órdenes, el documental demuestra que al menos algunos de ellos actuaron plenamente de acuerdo. Además del citado Hans Friedrich, otro oficial de las SS, Oskar Groening, justifica, de un modo aterrador, la masiva matanza de niños en Auschwitz, muchos de los cuales sirvieron antes como conejillos de Indias del inhumano doctor Mengele. "Los niños aún no eran el enemigo, pero sí la semilla del enemigo. Al crecer se convertirían en judíos peligrosos", argumenta este anciano, que no se muestra nada afligido -"¿qué tengo que hacer: autoflagelarme por haber pertenecido a aquella organización?"-. Él revela que ha accedido a ser entrevistado ahora para rebatir a quienes niegan el Holocausto. "Yo estuve allí", concluye.

JOAN BARRERA
BARCELONA

Whitney Harris, el psiquiatra que interrogó a Rudolf Hess, el comandante del campo de exterminio de Auschwitz, reconoce que le pareció una persona normal, sin ningún indicio que indujera a pensar que era uno de los principales responsables del asesinato de millones de judíos. El médico añade que cuando le preguntó porqué participó en aquel holocausto, el detenido dijo que había hecho aquello como hubiera podido talar árboles.
Las declaraciones de Harris se incluyen en el documental Auschwitz, los nazis y la solución final, producido por la BBC y Sagrera TV, que hoy emite TVE-1 coincidiendo con el 60 aniversario de la liberación del aquel campo de exterminio. La producción, que es el resumen de una serie de seis capítulos que próximamente ofrecerá La 2, relata la historia de aquella fábrica del terror, preparada para eliminar 10.000 personas en un solo día.
Las versión española, con ligeros retoques a la que vieron los televidentes de la BBC-2 hace 15 días, está presentada por la actriz María Galiana e incluye las declaraciones de tres exdeportados: Enric Marcó, cautivo en Mauthausen y Flossenbürg; Neus Català, encerrada en Ravensbrück, y Jaume Álvarez, que fue el interno 45.034 de Mauthausen. Sus horribles experiencias (un acto de justicia, según el responsable de Sagrera TV, Ramon Colom) se unen a las otras víctimas y a las de verdugos, entre los que destaca el exmiembro de las SS Oskar Groening. Él, sin el más mínimo arrepentimiento, justifica su papel de ejecutor en aquella fábrica de la muerte que fue Auschwitz. "Estábamos convencidos", señala ante las cámaras. Y añade: "todo el mundo iba a lo suyo, moría mucha gente y tú eras como un robot".

RECURSO A LA FICCIÓN
Escrito y dirigido por Laurence Rees, a partir de la novela del mismo título, el documental recurre a la ficción para recrear algunos de los momentos claves que marcaron la existencia del campo de exterminio. La narración, en el estilo propio de las grandes series históricas británicas, es "fría y distante", declara Jaume Serra, responsable con David Vilella de la versión española.
En Auschwitz murieron asesinados 1,1 millones de seres humanos, la mayoría judíos y, de ellas,1.200 españoles. Poco antes de la emisión en Gran Bretaña, una encuesta reveló que el 45% de las personas entrevistadas desconocía el verdadero significado de Auschwitz; de éstos, el 60% tenía menos de 35 años.

Friends,
I've been asked to remind everyone that there is a
forthcoming anarchist dayschool, brought to you by the anarchist dayschool collective.

It will be held in the Kinning Park Complex again on the 29th of January, starting at 11AM and finishing at 6PM.

We have an exciting programme which will be published here and elsewhere when all the details are finalized, but confirmed workshops so far include a second installment of last dayschool's workshops on gender and class.

If you, or your group would like to give a workshop or presentation on anything you are up to, please respond ASAP to anarchist-dayschool-collective-AT-lists.riseup.net

[please be aware that if it is bouncing today that's because the mail server "www.riseup.net" is encountering problems with its 'lists' section, and should be fixed by tomorrow - the email address is correct]

Additionally there will be stalls available on the day so if your groups wants a stall give that address a birl, but please be aware that space is limited so respond quickly to secure your place.

Affordable catering will also be available on the day.

It would also be helpful if you could let the collective know whether or not you intend on coming beforehand so that we can get some idea of the numbers.

Solidarity,
Nick Durie

Location:
Kinning Park Complex, Kinning Park, Glasgow

If travelling by car get onto the southbound Paisley Rd. West (the main artery thru Ibrox), and turn left when you see a pub called the doctor's. The centre is at the bottom of the street.

Green Party MN 2005 Winter Conference

10:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Send Email |

For Immediate Release

GREENS TO DISCUSS VALUES AT ANNUAL WINTER CONFERENCE
Saturday, January 29, 10am-4pm, Macalester College, St. Paul

The Green Party of Minnesota will hold its fourth annual Winter Conference on Saturday, January 29 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Macalester College in St. Paul. Green members and supporters will gather to discuss how to implement party’s 10 Key Values in grassroots strategies for change. The Green conference is free and open to the general public.

“Republicans talk boldly about the strength of their moral values. Yet, many Republicans called for the invasion of Iraq - in the American people’s name - mostly based on a transparently false assertion that Iraq had Weapons of Mass Destruction,” said party chairperson, Betsy Barnum. “In response, the Democratic Party opted for electability in the form of John Kerry, a man who was unable to take a moral position on the war because he voted for it. Unlike both parties, Greens consistently work for value-based political solutions in such a way that reflects those values.”

While Democratic Party leaders scramble to learn how to spin destructive policy positions into moral messages as effectively as the Bush administration, Greens will continue organizing this Saturday. Conference participants will choose from twelve workshops offered over three sessions. Workshops range from broad strategy discussions (How to Build a Movement), to legislative priorities (Building a Legislative Agenda) and individual issues (Restorative Justice). A full schedule is appended on the second page of this release.

Though extraordinary concern for defeating George W. Bush sealed the Green Party’s loss of Major Party Status, the party has retained Minor Party Status on the strength of 2002 statewide campaigns. With it, the Green Party holds on to important fundraising and organizing tools.

“One goal of the Winter Conference is to sharpen our thinking about how we set goals, organize, and fundraise from the local level up. We are preparing ourselves for a number of state-level campaigns in 2006 and are continuing to raise awareness of Green values in our local communities,” said Membership Chair Lisa Mabley. A handful of potential candiates have already expressed interest in considering and planning 2006 runs.

The 2005 Winter Conference is hosted by the Macalester College Green Party. “We’re proud to bring the Conference to St. Paul, where students have been integral to the local party’s work on development issues,” said MCGP Chair Andy Haug. “In addition, we’d like attendees to take a critical look at Macalester’s recent decision to retreat from need-blind admissions and thus to begin refusing admission to some qualiﬁed domestic students because they are not wealthy enough.”

The Green Party of Minnesota is based on the core values of Ecological Wisdom and Social and Economic Justice, Grassroots Democracy, and Non-violence. For more information about the party, call 612-871-4585 or visit www.mngreens.org. Details on the Conference are available at:
