Collective Forces of the Americas Set Their
Sights on Political Horizons
Close to 64 native indians, union leaders,
and members of alternative movements from the whole of the
American continent are meeting in a joint effort to build
common horizons as an answer to the present models. The
Continental Meeting of America is taking place in Quito
(Ecuador) from June 19 to June 23, and is organized by the
Alliance for a Responsible, Plural and United World.
Members are converging here from continental
resistance networks that participed in the Anti-Summit of
Quebec (Canada) and those that are planning the March against
the Wall in 2003, which is to begin in Belem (Brazil). They
are joined by union and native-indian representatives from
different regions of the continent. Together, they will
state their commitments to the political proposals that
will be defined in Quito.
The main themes that will be analyzed and
projected during the meeting are: economy, work and society
in solidarity; environment and society; state, civil society
and democracy; cultural differences, different forms of
knowledge, and intercultural processes; and horizons and
alliances of the social movements of the Americas.
