<br><br>Call for Social Movements to mobilize for the upcoming World Social<br>
Forum (Tunisia, 2015)<br>
<br>
<br>
Dear friends,<br>
<br>
During its last meeting held in Casablanca in December 2014, the<br>
International Council decided to organize the upcoming World Social<br>
Forum 2015 once again in Tunisia.<br>
<br>
This decision was made based on an evaluation of the proceedings of<br>
the WSF 2013, and a common assessment of the situation of struggles<br>
marshalled by different social movements in the region, and the world,<br>
as well as the new geopolitical context and the evolving nature of the<br>
neoliberal crisis.<br>
<br>
Indeed, it is now imperative to realize that since 2011, and after<br>
Arab revolutions have represented a source of hope to uplift the<br>
region from its status-quo, and a source of inspiration for the entire<br>
world to change, the Arab region is currently undergoing deeply<br>
worrisome dynamics. Governments in power over the past three years<br>
have yet to put in place the necessary policies and programs which<br>
respond to the claims of young people seeking freedom and employment,<br>
women seeking equality, social movements seeking social justice. On<br>
the contrary, throughout the region the flows of weapons and violence<br>
abound, and religious extremism is deepening its reach, neo-liberal<br>
policies dictated by the World Bank and the IMF are presented as the<br>
only solution and the social movements and democratic movements are<br>
criminalized. External political and military interventions have<br>
become the rule, each time instrumentalizing internal instability to<br>
facilitate interventions by the United States, Europe, Turkey and the<br>
Gulf countries.<br>
<br>
Beyond the Maghreb and the Mashreq, the African continent has become<br>
the primary source of raw material, present as the “new economic<br>
frontier”, it too a frontier ravaged by violent extremism, the<br>
plundering of its resources, and the devastating violence inflicted by<br>
structural adjustment programs and the militarization of its<br>
territories.<br>
<br>
Everywhere in the world, including in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and<br>
North America, social movements find themselves facing aggravating<br>
economic, social and environmental crisis, as well as a systemic<br>
attack on their rights. New tensions, directly related to hegemonic<br>
practices to appropriate resources and conquer markets, threaten to<br>
bring the worst in Europe, Asia and Africa.<br>
<br>
The World Social Forum remains, more than ever, a vital space for<br>
social movements which struggle to preserve people’s dignity, so that<br>
they remain masters of their own destiny, able to fight for and<br>
acquire new economic, social, cultural and environmental rights, and<br>
able to construct alternatives to the neoliberal world order.<br>
<br>
The social movements of Tunis, as well as of the Mashreq and Maghreb<br>
invite you to join their efforts in the construction of a more just<br>
world, where justice, equality and peace prevail, and where<br>
alternatives for the current world order, to which countless<br>
populations aspire, are discussed and debated.<br>
<br>
Together, we would like to work to put together an open, participatory<br>
and democratic mechanism for the organization of the World Economic<br>
Forum 2015.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Another Maghreb Mashreq is possible<br>
<br>
Another Africa is possible<br>
<br>
Another world in possible<br>
