BE PART OF THE WORLD SOCIAL FORUM... SEND A LETTER TO 100,000 PEOPLE
WHO ARE GATHERING IN MUMBAI,INDIA TO MAKE ANOTHER WORLD POSSIBLE

In the three years since its inception the World Social Forum has
become an international landmark. In an era where corporate
globalisation is presented as an inevitability, where the neo-liberal
notion of development increasingly pervades most governments and
undermines traditional cultures, thousands of activists, artists,
academics, economists, writers, students, farmers, workers and many
others will gather to protest this domination of capital over
humanity, with vitality, wit and vision and to celebrate an
alternative view of democracy and development because ANOTHER WORLD
IS POSSIBLE.

In 2004 the World Social Forum will take place in Mumbai, India from
16th-21st January.
