Greetings!  

I am sad to note the sudden death of organizer, writer, and educator Eric Rofes who passed away at the age of 51 on Tuesday, June 26, 2006 while on a writing sabbatical in Provincetown, MA.  Eric was a professor at the School of Education, Humboldt State University.  He leaves behind a life companion, Crispin Hollings, his partner of 16 years.  Eric was a visionary thinker, K-12 educator, adult and community educator, and superb activist and organizer.  Highlander Education and Research Center has an obituary on Eric, which can be found at http://www.highlandercenter.org/n-eric-rofes.asp

Eric's full bio is found at:  http://ericrofes.com/.  He was author of more than a dozen books, and over a hundred scholarly articles.  Eric's most recent book is A Radical Rethinking of Sexuality & Schooling: Status Quo or Status Queer (2005). He had diverse areas of scholarship, including issues related to gay male teachers (http://ericrofes.com/research/I_Was_Afraid_He_Would_Label_Me.pdf); Charter schools; perceived long-term effects of gay teachers on middle school students (http://ericrofes.com/research/What_Happens_Kids_Grow_Up.pdf); HIV and gay men of color; the long term effects of bullying in schools; teaching practices and pedagogies; gay men and post-AIDS identities; and more!

The academy has lost a scholar who was dedicated to liberatory education and human rights!

 3.- FOR AN IMMEDIATE AND UNCONDITIONAL CEASE-FIRE

International appeal

From: Alessandra - FSM Escritorio
 fsmcoordesc@forumsocialmundial.org.br

Today, July 30th, another massacre was committed in Lebanon: More than sixty civilians, among them 37 children, were killed by Israeli bombs while they were sleeping in shelters in the village of Qana. They died not very far away from the mass grave holding the bodies of 106 civilians burned by a previous Israeli attack in April 1996 inside a shelter provided by a UN battalion

Reacting to this terrible news, the only sane decision that needs to be made immediately is that of a ceasefire.

A ceasefire would allow for humanitarian relief to reach the innocent victims, for the bodies to be buried instead of being eaten by the dogs, and for all the underlying problems to be negotiated and eventually solved. More victims can only produce more hatred.

In the last few days, Lebanon has been promised by the EU, the UK and the US help in rebuilding its infrastructure and humanitarian aid to assist the eight hundred thousand internally displaced persons and “humanitarian corridors”, but they stopped short of demanding a ceasefire, which encouraged Israel to continue with its “mission” of unilaterally enforcing the resolution to disarm Hezbollah. With that same logic, Hezbollah could argue it has a mission to enforce the many UN Security Council resolutions demanding Israel to withdraw from the occupied Palestinian territories and to implement the right of return of the Palestinian refugees.

On July 27, Israeli Justice Minister Haim Ramon said that Israel had given civilians ample time to leave southern Lebanon. “All those now in south Lebanon are terrorists who are related in some way to Hezbollah,” he said, according to the BBC. The same strategy is in these days deployed in the Gaza Strip where the populations of neighborhoods and refugee camps are asked to leave their homes. This comes down to blatant collective punishment of entire populations.
 

The escalating violence in Lebanon can not be solved unilaterally with self-proclaimed righteousness by any party. Peace is negotiated between enemies, not with friends. And the first step to any negotiation is a ceasefire. Or is it that every child has to die so that they do not grow into “terrorists”?

A year ago, the UK Prime Minister championed the cause of including in the UN mandate the “responsibility to protect populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity”.  Yet the UN, the European Union, The United States and the United Kingdom have failed in their responsibility to protect the Lebanese and Palestinian children. Or even to clearly condemn the latest Israeli criminal acts.

The international civil society and social movements are raising their voice and mobilizing throughout the world not only to express their indefectible solidarity with the Lebanese people, but also to build a huge international barrier against the global war of re-colonization of the world.

We are demanding

  • An immediate and unconditional cease-fire, in Lebanon as well as in the Palestinian Occupied Territories!
  • The implementation of full sovereignty to Lebanon and the national rights of the Palestinian people!
  • No NATO forces on the Lebanese territory!

We support the call of the international solidarity delegation in Lebanon for an international day of protest and solidarity on August 12th.

4.- SEVENTH NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF WOMEN’S MOVEMENTS IN INDIA, KOLKATA 2006
From: purnima purnima

We ABOUT US

would like to invite all of you to participate in the Seventh National Conference, a large gathering of about 2000 women from different parts of India, belonging to different castes, classes, sexual orientation, ethnic, cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Since 1980, every two to five years, the Nacional Conferences have provided a platform for women to come together to share, dialogue, debate and zarpen their politics while deepening their understanding of and responses to issues and strategies. They have also provided the space to forge friendships and extend solidarity to each other.

Each National Conference has been a collective stocktaking of the ever-changing political contexts within which issues get continuously redefined. There is an incredible energy, spirit and dynamism when so many women who are struggling, individually and collectively, meet in one space.

Share this experience with us !

We are autonomous women’s groups, formed in the late 1970s and early 1980s, which began their political journey with the anti-rape, dowry murder and amniocentesis campaigns. We define autonomy in terms of maintaining institutional and ideological independence from political parties, governments and funding agencies. The National Conference is organised by a working group that is called the National Coordination Committee (NCC). It is not a registered or a permanent body but is re-covened prior to each conference and collectively inducts new members.

HISTORY OF NATIONAL CONFERENCES

A quarter century has gone by since the First Nacional Conference, “On Perspectives for a Women's Liberation Movement in India”, held in the city of Mumbai in 1980. It had about 200 women coming from all over the country to discuss violence against women and establish themselves as a stream within the Indian Women's Movement. The second one [1985] was also hosted by the women's groups in Mumbai. In 1988 it was held in Patna with a large mobilisation of rural women. Women's groups in the South offered to host the next one in Calicut [1990]. The conference was documented for the first time on video. The numbers of participating women were steadily increasing. Over 3000 women came to the Tirupathi [1994 ] and Rancho [1997].

The issues taken up by the Conferences have varied from violence and discrimination against women within the home and outside, as in dowry tortures, murders and other forms of marital violence, female infanticide, sexual harassment, rape, violence perpetrated on lesbians; prostitution, trafficking and commodification of women.

The Conferences have also dealt with issues like health and fertility, recognition of women's work and worth, political participation, communalism and fundamentalism, wars and militarisation, state repression and violence, displacement and migration, the increasing impoverishment of the poor, the marginalised and women. We discussed different strategies, analices and perspectives.

After a gap of nine years, the National Conference is being held in Kolkata, West Bengal.

THE SEVENTH NATIONAL CONFERENCE

We call on all women who are struggling against different forms of oppression to be part of the Nacional Conference and to collectively evolve a vision of equality and social justice. The National Conferences have a vision of an alternative society- a society that is free from violence and discrimination and upholds gender, caste and class equality, social justice, diversity, dignity and peace. Over the years, the Conferences have evolved as a space to share our ideas, concerns, politics, campaigns and give visibility to the continuing resistances and struggles for justice, equality and liberation.

While we believe that as women we share common interests, struggles and goals, we also realise that social constructs such as caste, class, religion, ethnicity and sexuality create multiple identities for many of us. Hence, we remain committed to recognising multiple identities and commonalities while resisting the marginalisation, divisions and contradictions created by the politics of identity.

Towards a Politics of Justice: Affirming

Diversities, Resisting Divisiveness

5.- WSF 2007 - AFRICA
World Social Forum Consultation

from: BOLETIM FSM
gerente@forumsocialmundial.org.br

The next World Social Forum program and themes will be based on information gathered about initiatives and campaigns for a new world through the World Social Forum consultation process. It only takes 5 minutes for your organization to participate in the consultation process.

Dear friend,

In past years, your organization participated in an active way in some or all of the World Social Forums (WSF). We, members of the International Council’s Methodology and Contents Commissions, are inviting you to participate in the consultation process. We would like you to help create the program of the upcoming WSF, to be held from January 20th to 25th 2007, in Nairobi, Kenya. There is an instrument to do so, the preparatory consultation, which is accessible through the internet and that you can help to reproduce and disseminate through paper form. The consultation process is interactive. It is both essential to WSF organizers in Africa, and the data collected can be accessed by any organization involved in this process. It is the first step for a permanent information and exchanging system among the WSF participants.

The idea of doing preparatory consultations was born in 2004, during the preparation of WSF 2005 in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The consultation was essential to organize that Forum because it made more visible the initiatives for another possible world and has multiplied the dialogs, proposals and common actions. Some months before the event and the beginning of the activities registration, each one of the organizations present in the previous WSFs was asked to announce the intended themes and any other urgent subject that they would like to present.

From the answers and their interpretation, it was possible to identify eleven thematic terrains where participants whose actions converged around similar goals could gather. At the moment of the activity registration, each organization could visualize, in the internet, other similar proposals and propose, if convenient, some kind of articulation before the WSF began. In addition, the same thematic terrains were reproduced physically on the layout of WSF venue (the World Social Territory). During the event the participants could more easily identify several themes among the alternatives that were being constructed.

Towards the WSF 2007

The Consultation Step by Step
Reproduction in paper and other ways
Deadline: August 30th
The Consultation Questions

WSF 2007 - Emphasizing the Actions
 The new consultation repeats past accomplishments and does more. It describes and focuses the actions, campaigns and struggles that each organization is engaged in. In 2007, the WSF will be gathering in Africa, a continent that condenses the contradictions, injustices and violence of global capitalism. Our aim is to make even more visible the concrete initiatives that challenge and work to end this oppression, keeping hope in a dignified world.
Your participation is vital for this process. This year the preparatory consultation asks organizations to do two things: a) name the main actions, campaigns and struggles that they are involved in; b) describe each one of these main actions, campaigns and struggles by answering seven easy questions, which are at the end of the message. This will take only 5 minutes to do.

The Consultation Step by Step
The consultation questionnaire must be filled in through the internet, but we also strongly encourage filling out the printed questionnaire for all those participants who do not have access to computers. The site where you can find the preparatory consultation is: http://consultation.wsf2007.org .

Before filling out the questionnaire, each organization must, of course, identify itself. Those organizations who have already registered  in any of the WSF2006 activity (Polycentric) will already have their information automatically entered, and do not have to re-enter it. Just enter your organization’s login and password, or if you have forgotten this information,  you can request it be emailed to you through this web page.

For those organizations who did not register in any of 2006 activities this process is also easy and fast. There are three steps to follow: 1) Register as an individual; 2) Register your organization; 3) Enter the questionnaire specific web page and click on the “add new” key.

On this same page, there is something extremely hopeful: the consultation interactivity. Any participant has access to information concerning actions, campaigns and struggles already registered for all organizations engaged in the process. You can also have with an easy click the address of all primary contact persons. A searching system, not yet totally developed, will allow you to refine searching. It is possible to find, for example, actions linked to business, or organizations whose name has the word women in its title. In the future, more advanced systems will locate initiatives, projects or events initiated by WSF participants in any part of the world or at any time. At that time, the WSF will have left behind the condition of event for that one of process.

Reproduction in paper and other ways
 Unfortunately, most people throughout the world do not have access to the internet. Among those without access to the internet, are many organizations linked to the development of a new world. Therefore we want to encourage participation in the consultation process and disseminate the resulting information in a paper form and in an audio broadcasting form via radio. Networks that have among their participants entities without access to computers can, for example, print the consultation in their internal newsletter and encourage those associated organizations to answer the questions. A similar method was successfully adopted in 2005.

This requires some additional work. Those who diffused the preparatory consultation must gather the answers and input them in the system. Thanks to the efforts of networks and others, the actions, campaigns and struggles developed by those without access to the internet will be known as well.

Deadline: August 30th
 As much effort as possible has to be made in order to get as much information as possible for the consultation process by August 30th. The process of reviewing and organizing the information gathered begins right after the August 30th deadline (between September 2nd and 5th) in a variety of essential  meetings held in Nairobi to define the program of WSF2007. The Organizing Committee, the African Social Forum Council, the Methodology and Content commissions of the WSF International Council among several other volunteer organizations will be part of those meetings. From the analyses of the consultation results, the WSF’s 2007 Thematic Terrains will be defined. The system will continue online, as a tool for dialogue. However, the new answers that emerge after that deadline will not influence the architecture of the WSF meeting 2007 in Nairobi.

A few days after this meeting, about the end of September, WSF2007 registration will begin. We are looking forward to meeting you in Nairobi, between January 20th and 25th, to develop together new proposals and transformative actions. In the meanwhile, please participate in the consultation, answer it as soon as possible and spread it as much as you can.

Our best regards,


Methodology and Contents Commissions
WSF International Council

Linking & Learning Programme on ESC Rights for the Latin America Region
2 to 10 November 2006 – Quito, Ecuador

Organisers: CDES, COHRE – Americas Programme , Dignity International, DECA Equipo Pueblo y Social Watch

With the support of: People’s world relief and Development Fund of the Anglican Church de Canada (PWRDF)

 For the second time, it is being organised this programme in Latin America, with the objective of equipping selected participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to integrate human rights in their daily work
The programme is aimed at activists from social and economic justice movements and at those working directly with persons living in poverty. The programme will bring together ‘catalysts’ from different countries of Latin America. These persons will be in a position to spread knowledge and skills they have acquired from the programme and to introduce/implement what they have acquired within their own organisations or environment.

Summary of the programme:
This Regional Linking & Learning Programme is organised with the conviction that a human rights framework by empowering the poor and their movements will contribute to establishing the primacy of dignity of individuals over trade and markets and ensure adoption of effective policies and programmes by governments for eradication of poverty.

In 2005, for the first time, a Linking & Learning Programme on ESC Rights for the Latin American region was organised by Social Watch and Dignity International, in partnership with COHRE–Americas Programme and Equipo Pueblo (Mexico). This programme took place in Uruguay, and was born in response to repeated demands from Latin-American groups and organisations over the past 3 years.

Bearing in mind the success of the 2005 programme in Uruguay, which received a tremendously positive evaluation from the participants, as well as the impressive amount of applications received (around 250 to 25 places), the decision was taken of having another programme this year of 2006.
