Mobilising Meeting for European Social Forum

The European Social Forum, Florence 7-10 November 20002 is set to be the biggest ever gathering of anti-capitalists from across Europe. The Forum was initiated by the Genoa Social Forum and others in Italy in response to the Porto Allegre World Social Forum. The support for the forum is alreasdy significant, there will be a wide variety of political trends represented with many different national political traditions and radical cultures adding to the potential of the event. Some will have criticisms of the politics of particular elements of the ESF but to ignore it would be a major mistake.
In England the mobilisation for the forum remains fairly limited and has been largely iniitiated by the SWP. This will convince some the ESF is not worth bothering with. But look to France, Italy, Spain, Germany and elsewhere, the anti-capitalist mobilisations there here are much bigger, broader and dynamic than the 'English version'. Join the mobilisation here and help broaden our input too.
Next open mobilising meeting: Monday 19 August, 6.30pm, Amnesty International, 5-8 Hardwick Street, London EC1.
