ESF: one attempt at an overview
10-11-2002 00:08
To get an overview of the European Social Forum which has been running in Florence since 7 November, and closes tomorrow, 10 November, is difficult - certainly beyond me. About 20,000 people there, so I'm told. The main centre of the Forum is a huge old military base, the Fortezza, covering a large area with meeting halls spread over it.It is constantly swarming with people looking for meetings (to find where they are is not always easy!), searching for food, holding impromptu extra meetings of one sort or another... The walls are plastered with hundreds of posters and leaflets.Florence Impressions: ESF Demonstration

despite police, no sweat esf seminar a success www.nosweat.org.uk

The seminar organised by No Sweat and the Clean Clothes Campaign at the European Social Forum took place from 2:00 to 5:00 this afternoon and was a great success. This despite the British state's determined attempt to stop it by telling the Italian border police that one of the main speakers, No Sweat National Secretary Mick Duncan, was an "undesirable" and should not be allowed to enter the country! (See elsewhere on Indymedia and the No Sweat website). The ESF organisers tell us they have no report of anyone else being excluded from Italy.ESF FLORENCE: Disobedients occupy Caterpillar factory

Previously schengen has been suspended ahead of large protests for the purposes of stopping protestors and political activists attending events...come with us to the ESF in florence

We (No Sweat) are running a cheapish coach from London to the EUropean Social Forum in Florence in November, handy if you wanna go but cannot afford the cost of the train or plane fare, but might be able to scrape enough together / or can get sponsorship (e.g. from a trade union branch) to come by coachIndymedia UK should publicise ESF!

The European Social Forum (ESF)will not be perfect, but it will be an inspiring event nevertheless! Tens of thousands of radical anti-capitalists from accoss Europe will attend. Indymedia as the non-sectarian home of the entire movement should publicise it on its upcoming events panel.
