The World Social Forum in Porto Alegre: A Wind of Hope in a World at War
By Roger Burbach
The second World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil, marked a dramatic counterpoint for a world that has been caught in a world of war and death since September 11. For six days starting on January 31, more than 51,000 people from around the globe participated in conferences, workshops, demonstrations, and innumerable informal gatherings and meetings. As Francisco Whitaker, a member of the organizing committee from Brazil noted, "The Forum is a wind of hope that has taken hold in all of our hearts." Almost 5 thousand organizations from 131 countries participated along with 11,600 young people who stayed in tents at the International Youth Camp.

'For a different world', was one of the main themes of the world movement against neoliberal globalisation. Thousands of European activists converged during the European Social Forum in Italy, Florence, from sixth till ninth of November. At hundreds of conferences, seminars and workshops people talked about this other world. But is this world really different?

CALLING ALL GRASSROOTS GROUPS, COLLECTIVES AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS..
December 20th - 21st 2002 - TWO DAYS OF SOCIAL DISOBEDIENCE IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE ARGENTINEAN POPULAR REBELLION
As Argentina tumbles further into uncharted financial crisis an inspiring popular rebellion has been spreading across the country. An ongoing movement has developed that has become a living laboratory of struggle, a space where the popular politics of the future are being re-invented. The rising rebellion exploded on December 20th 2001, when over a million people took to the streets banging their pots and pans and ousting the government. This year on the 20th of December people in Argentina and across the globe are calling for a global day of Action to demonstrate that those who are building alternatives to the dictatorship of the markets are not alone.

It’s cold on the first morning of the Yumi Wantaim gathering, and we - an eclectic mix of faces, ages and colours - are huddled under a large white marquee in Pipemaker’s Park in outer Melbourne. Outside, under a drizzle of rain, a fire pit is being prepared to cook sweet potato and a pig, killed for the occasion. The West Papuan flag stands motionless as backdrop while longtime West Papua activist Bishop Hilton Deakin welcomes the crowd.
