Urgent call re Women's Day at the European Social Forum

17-06-2004 19:42

At a women’s briefing meeting this week, we heard from UK organisers that giving women independent space was not seen as a priority. Yet the Women’s Day at the Paris ESF last November was decisive in making women’s campaigns visible, including grassroots organising against immigration and asylum laws, and against war and occupation.

republished infringement anti-fringe fest in montreal

15-06-2004 02:46

i read most of this and it seemed worth reposting! i remember when i was younger and festivals were not corporate sponsored. not that it is always a bad thing. sometimes the local council lends a hand etc.. etc.. it might help sometimes, but why should our communities in celebration become their advertising? and product testing grounds?
