The World Social Forum is part of a social movement against the neo liberal agenda, the modern form of colonialism and imperialism. We are citizens of the planet and as such we are the bearers of a set of economic, social, political, cultural and environmental rights, which all in authority must uphold equally for all people regardless of our age, gender, social class, ethnicity or migratory status.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here, from this place of gathering we would like first and foremost to call public attention to a series of offenses, abuses and threats:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•  We denounce the femicide and daily violence against women throughout this region as a manifestation of a sexist and exploiting culture brought about by those who command the model of industrialization, the brutal urban development and the depredation that has been imposed on this border.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•  We denounce the construction of the Wall of Death by the war mongering and authoritarian government of George W. Bush. Walls are symbols of supremacy by the dominant powers: they are projects to divide and isolate exploited peoples from resources necessary for their survival, and to expel them from their lands using methods characteristic of the most primitive form of capitalism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•  We denounce the classist and racist character of the delayed, timid, limited and petty reaction by the authorities of both Mexico and the United States, respectively, in dealing with the families and individuals devastated by Hurricane Katrina in the New Orleans region of Louisiana and the victims of the flooding last summer in the region of Ciudad Juárez in Chihuahua.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•  We denounce the actions of multinational agribusiness corporations and those governments that support them, and of the multilateral organizations such as the World Trade Organization, and we denounce the free trade agreements that attempt to do away with the food sovereignty of nations and peoples.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•  We denounce the militarization of the US-Mexico border as an authoritarian and racist act that criminalizes migrants and forces them to risk their lives to enter the US, and which provokes divisions and violence between US citizens and immigrants.  We denounce the mistreatment of Central Americans in Mexico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•  We denounce the multiple forms of exploitation to which thousands are subjected by the companies, the authorities and the anti-democratic unions that do not defend the rights of these workers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•  We denounce the destruction of nature, the desertification, the depletion of the water reserves, the forests, the land, and biodiversity due to the predatory and patriarchal acts of the capitalist system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•  We denounce the North American Alliance for Security and Prosperity and the Panama Puebla Plan as the most recent mechanisms put in place to consolidate the neoliberal project in North America. We shall continue to oppose these with all the strength of the united people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The proposals and immediate commitments that we as the Border Social Forum are prepared and obliged to carry out in order to build a better world are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1)   We shall include the topic of women as transversal in each and every one of the topics of global struggle. We will articulate this within all of our struggles for justice against the unjust, patriarchal capitalist model. It is imperative that gender define itself as an expression of sexuality and that the rights to self definition and free exercise of individual sexuality be respected. We shall work so that sufficient and adequate information on sexual and reproductive rights be known to all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2)   We will support the campaign against the multinational corporation Kimberly Clark and its partner [Rep. F. James] Sensenbrenner, the main promoter of the anti-immigrant legislation in Washington.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3)   We will put in action all measures necessary to ensure that women of all ages be given a guarantee to live a life free of violence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4)   We declare that water is a human right and we commit to fight in order to prevent its privatization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5)   We will fight to legislate in favor of Citizen Observer commissions as mechanisms of vigilance and a guarantee for justice, and for all other mechanisms that promote citizen participation in decision making processes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6)   We reject the militarization of the border, a form of low intensity warfare characterized by vigilante actions, raids at immigrant detention centers, and the use of modern technology on the border. We also reject repressive laws such as 4437 that seek to criminalize immigrants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7)   We are committed to lobby for comprehensive immigration reform laws that legislate full rights for all immigrants, including social services and amnesty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8)   We are committed to organize a great mobilization and national strike of more than one day for the First of May 2007.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9)   We commit to fight to divulge information about and demand the immediate release of the five Cuban comrades, unjustly imprisoned in different prisons in the United States.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10) We support the efforts of the youth at the Border Social Forum to achieve their own forms of expression such as their web page, and we commit to be at their service in their education initiatives and the forms of organization that they undertake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11) We will organize an International Action Week from the 9-12 of November, to include acts of solidarity with the peoples of Mexico and Palestine, along with educational activities relating to their common struggles. Such acts will be in protest of the conference of Military Contractors, the negotiators of death, to be held on the 13th and 14th November. We also propose the establishment of an international day of action to combat the Wall of Death on December 28.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12) We commit ourselves to work so that civil society undertakes the struggle for food sovereignty as proposed by Via Campesina, as the foundation of sovereignty and national liberties, along with a dignified life for farm worker families. We demand that the World Trade Organization and the Free Trade Agreements be done away with. We shall take part in the struggle of the Mexican farm workers so that agricultural sections of the North American Free Trade Agreement planned to take effect in 2008 be revised so that the elimination of tariffs by Mexico on imported agricultural products not take effect. We demand a halt to the use of proprietary hybrid seed, and the patenting of seed stock by multinational corporations, since such practices endanger not only our sovereignty but also our health and the heritage of our natural resources.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13) We demand that the governments of Mexico and the United States provide just compensation to all those who participated in the Guest Worker (Bracero) Program, with understanding and a broad sense of equality, and without bureaucratic red tape, in recognition of the tremendous contribution that they have made to the economies of both nations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14) We express our broad solidarity with the people of Oaxaca, organised though APPO, in support of all their demands and we announce that we will be monitor the situation there so that further actions of aggression against them not take place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15) We will forward the struggle for healthcare as a right for all and will participate in the First National Congress to be celebrated from November 9-11 in Mexico City.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16) We express our fullest solidarity to those families and workers of mine Unidad 8 of Pasta de Conchos, Coahuila where 35 mine workers were buried in February of 2006, of which only one has since been recovered. We join our voices with the demands put forth to the authorities, the Industrial Mining Company of Mexico and the National Union of Mine and Metallurgical Workers so that the workers’ rights be taken into account and that they be answered to in full.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17) We commit ourselves to fight with the Indian Nations of the region to prevent discrimination and to confront racism, colonialism and the disrespect shown to their societies. We shall fight with them to recuperate their sovereignty, so as to reestablish their economies as alternatives to capitalism, to recuperate their identity and to reestablish their communities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18) We call upon the organization of a group of International Observers to be present during the land negotiation sessions of the Juárez settlement Granjas Lomas de Poleo so as to better guarantee the protection and security of the settlement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19) We will work so that all popular cultural forms of expression continue to be included in social fora, so that social struggles take on a universal sentiment of understanding and awareness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20) We will organize the Second Border Forum on the southern Mexico/Central American border.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;21) We will mobilize for International Migrant Day on December 18th.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;22) We will organize the third annual Border Peoples Alternative Summit in response to the Border Governors Conference in Nogales, Sonora during the summer of 2007.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;23) We will carry the resolved principals and conclusions of each work area of the Border Social Forum to the U.S. Social Forum, the World Social Forum and eventually to the Mexico Social Forum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through such commitments, by this path of collective action by the protagonists gathered here, we today close this Border Social Forum. At the same time we open new pathways towards participation, communication, mobilization and struggle. We will converge through action with the movements of all of the regional, national and continental fora that together make up this marvellous human reality – rich, diverse, creative and plural – that is the World Social Forum. With everything that we do, with all that we bring to bear, with all that we dream, we will assuredly build a better world for all human beings, and all living things, one without borders.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico&lt;br /&gt;October 15, 2006&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comité Organizador y Asamblea&lt;br /&gt;Ruben Solis, Facilitador FSF&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.forosocialfronterizo.com/"&gt;www.forosocialfronterizo.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:grulla@igc.org"&gt;grulla@igc.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23112854-116560058493499852?l=forosocialfronterizo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://forosocialfronterizo.blogspot.com/feeds/116560058493499852/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23112854&amp;postID=116560058493499852' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23112854/posts/default/116560058493499852'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23112854/posts/default/116560058493499852'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forosocialfronterizo.blogspot.com/2006/12/foro-social-fronterizo_116560058493499852.html' title='Foro Social Fronterizo'/><author><name>ruben solis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12755401195856881204</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23112854.post-116560049973153551</id><published>2006-12-08T11:54:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2006-12-08T11:54:59.800-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Foro Social Fronterizo</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://forosocialfronterizo.blogspot.com/"&gt;Foro Social Fronterizo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asamblea de Movimientos Sociales Fronterizo&lt;br /&gt; Foro Social Fronterizo 15 de Octubre, 2006&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DECLARACION FINAL&lt;br /&gt;Las mujeres, los hombres, los jóvenes,  las Pueblos Indigenas, las organizaciones sociales,  sindicales, de derechos humanos, campesinas, defensoras del medio ambiente de los estados fronterizos de México y los Estados Unidos y muchos mas  nos hemos reunido en este espacio de frontera para reafirmar nuestra voluntad de acabar con las fronteras.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Formamos parte de esa formidable fuerza de lucha y de esperanza que empezó a surgir en todo el planeta al iniciar el proceso del Foro Social Mundial en Porto Alegre en  2001. El Foro Social Mundial es parte de un movimiento social en contra de la política neoliberal. La política neoliberal es la nueva forma de colonización e imperialismo. Somos ciudadanas y ciudadanos del planeta y como tales, portadores y portadoras de un conjunto de derechos económicos, sociales, políticos, culturales y ambientales exigibles a todas las autoridades, independientemente de nuestra edad, sexo, clase social, raza y condición migratoria&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Desde aquí, desde este lugar de encuentro queremos en primer lugar, llamar la atención de la opinión publica sobre toda una serie de agravios, de atropellos y de amenazas:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Denunciamos el feminicidio y la violencia cotidiana contra la mujer en toda esta región como una manifestación de la cultura sexista y explotadora de las personas propiciada por el modelo de industrialización, crecimiento urbano salvaje y depredación que se ha impuesto a esta frontera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Denunciamos la construcción y extensión del Muro de la Muerte o de la Vergüenza por parte del gobierno belicista y autoritario de George W. Bush. Los muros son símbolos de la dominación de las fuerzas dominantes: son proyectos para dividir y aislar los pueblos explotados de los recursos de sobrevivencia y expulsados de su tierra por la propia acción del capitalismo salvaje.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Denunciamos el clasismo y el racismo presente en la reacción tardía, tímida, limitada y mezquina de las autoridades de México y de los Estados Unidos al no atender debidamente a las familias y personas damnificadas por el Huracán Katrina en la zona de Nueva Orleáns, Luisiana y por las lluvias del verano pasado en Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Denunciamos la acción de las empresas trasnacionales de los agros negocios, de los gobiernos que los apoyan y de las organizaciones multilaterales, como la Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC) y de los tratados de libre comercio que pretenden acabar con la soberanía alimentaria de las naciones y de los pueblos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Denunciamos la militarización de la frontera Estados Unidos/México como un hecho autoritario, racista que criminaliza a los migrantes, los lleva a la muerte, provoca divisiones y violencia entre las comunidades. Denunciamos el maltrato que México reciben los Centro Americanos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Denunciamos las múltiples formas de explotación a que son sometidos miles de trabajadores en ambos lados de la frontera, por parte de las empresas, de las autoridades y de los sindicatos antidemocráticos que no defienden sus derechos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Denunciamos la destrucción de la naturaleza, la desertificación, el agotamiento de los mantos acuíferos, de los bosques, de los suelos, de la biodiversidad por la acción del sistema capitalista patriarcal y depredador.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Denunciamos la Alianza para la Seguridad y la Prosperidad de América del Norte (ASPAN) y el Plan Puebla Panamá como los más recientes mecanismos para consolidar el proyecto neoliberal en Norteamérica. Nos seguiremos oponiendo a ellos con toda la fuerza del pueblo unido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Las propuestas y compromisos inmediatos que asumimos como Asamblea de los Movimientos Sociales representados aquí en el primer Foro Social Fronterizo y que nos comprometemos a llevar adelante para construir otro mundo posible sin fronteras son:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1)     Vamos a incluir el tema de mujeres como tema transversal en todos y cada uno de los temas de la lucha global. Lo articularemos con todas las luchas por la justicia, en contra del modelo capitalista, patriarcal e injusto. Es necesario que el género se defina como una expresión de la sexualidad y que se respete el derecho a la autodefinición y al ejercicio libre de la propia sexualidad. Lucharemos para que se difunda información adecuada u suficiente sobre los derechos sexuales y reproductivos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2)     Apoyaremos la campana en contra de la trasnacional Kimberley Clark por ser su socio Sensenbrenner el impulsor de la terrible ley antiinmigrante.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3)     Implementaremos las medidas necesarias para garantizar a las mujeres de todas las edades vivir una vida libre de violencia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4)     Asumimos la propuesta de las mujeres para proclamar el agua como un derecho humano y nos comprometemos en la lucha para evitar su privatización.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5)     Lucharemos por impulsar en materia legislativa los Observatorios Ciudadanos como un mecanismo de vigilancia en la impartición de justicia y por todos los mecanismos ciudadanos de participación en la toma de decisiones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6)     Rechazamos la militarización de la frontera, la guerra de baja intensidad, la acción de los caza migrantes, las deportaciones, las redadas y los centros de detención de migrantes, así como la alta tecnología para la vigilancia en la frontera.  Repudiamos también las leyes represivas como la 4437, la criminalizacion de migrantes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7)     Nos comprometemos a impulsar leyes que reconozcan plenos derechos para todos los migrantes, servicios sociales, amnistía, y una reforma migratoria integral.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8)     Nos comprometemos a organizar una gran movilización y un paro nacional en apoyo de los derechos de migrantes el primero de mayo de 2007.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9)      Nos comprometemos a luchar para difundir el caso y exigir la liberación inmediata de los cinco compañeros cubanos presos injustamente en diversas prisiones en los Estados Unidos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10) Apoyamos el esfuerzo de las y los jóvenes del Foro Social Fronterizo para darse sus propias formas de expresión, como su página de Internet y nos comprometemos a estar a su servicio en las iniciativas de educación, formación y organización que emprendan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11) Organizaremos una Semana Internacional de Acción: del 9 al 12 de noviembre, que incluya acciones de solidaridad con los pueblos Mexicano y Palestino, así como actividades educacionales sobre las luchas comunes. Dichas acciones serán una protesta contra la conferencia de Contratistas Militares, es decir, los negociantes de la muerte, a celebrarse los días 13 y 14 de noviembre. Proponemos además establecer un día internacional de acción para combatir el Muro de la Muerte, que seria el 28 de diciembre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12) Nos comprometemos a trabajar para que la sociedad civil asuma la lucha por la soberanía alimentaria, como lo plantea la Vía Campesina,  como el fundamento de la soberanía y libertades nacionales, así como de la vida digna para las y los agricultores familiares. Exigimos que salgan la OMC y los tratados de libre comercio de la agricultura. Participaremos en la lucha de las y los campesinos mexicanos para que se revise el Tratado de Libre Comercio de Norte América (TLCAN) en materia agropecuaria y no entre en vigor la desgravación total de importaciones en 2008. Exigimos que se detenga la siembra de transgenicos y la patente de semillas por parte de las trasnacionales, pues ponen en peligro no solo nuestra soberanía sino también nuestra salud y nuestro patrimonio de recursos naturales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13) Exigimos a los gobiernos de México y de los Estados Unidos se haga justicia a todas las personas que participaron en el Programa Bracero, sin burocratismos, con sensibilidad y un amplio sentido de equidad, en reconocimiento justo del inmenso aporte que realizaron a la economía de los dos países.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14) Expresamos nuestra amplia solidaridad con el pueblo de Oaxaca, organizado a través de la APPO, apoyando todas sus demandas y anunciamos que estaremos pendientes que no se continúen ejerciendo acciones represivas en su contra..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15) Impulsaremos la lucha de la salud como derecho y vamos a participar en el I Congreso Nacional a celebrarse del 9 al 11 de noviembre en la Ciudad de México.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16) Expresamos nuestra más amplia solidaridad a los familiares y trabajadores de la mina Unidad 8, de Pasta de Conchos, Coahuila donde quedaron sepultados 35 mineros desde el mes de febrero pasado, de los cuales solo uno ha sido rescatado. Nos sumamos a las exigencias de ellos ante las autoridades, la empresa Industrial Minera México y el Sindicato Nacional de Trabajadores Mineros Metalúrgicos y Similares para que sus derechos sean cumplidos y sus demandas, respondidas a cabalidad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17) Nos comprometemos con las Pueblos Indigenas de la región a luchar con ellos para prevenir discriminaciones, para confrontar el racismo, la colonización y la falta de respeto a sus sociedades. Con ellos lucharemos para recuperar su soberanía,  para restablecer su organización económica como alternativa al capitalismo, para recuperar su identidad y restablecer sus comunidades.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18) Convocamos a la organización de un Grupo de Observadores Internacionales que hagan presencia en las sesiones de la colonia Granjas Lomas del Poleo para garantizar los derechos humanos y la protección y seguridad a los colonos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19) Vamos a trabajar para que en todos los foros sociales se sigan incluyendo todas las manifestaciones y expresiones culturales de los pueblos, que permitan revestir las luchas sociales con una sensibilidad y sentido universales..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20) Organizaremos el Segundo Foro Social Fronterizo en la frontera sur México/Centroamérica.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;21) Nos movilizaremos para el Día Internacional de los Migrantes el 18 de diciembre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;22) Nos movilizaremos ante la reunión de Gobernadores Fronterizos realizando el Encuentro Alterno de Pueblos Fronterizos en Nogales, Sonora en el verano de 2007.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;23)  Llevaremos los principales resolutivos y conclusiones de cada eje de este Foro Social Fronterizo al Foro Social de Estados Unidos, al Foro Social Mundial y eventualmente a un Foro Social Mexicano.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por este camino de compromisos, por esta vía de acciones colectivas y efectivas pactadas desde aquí, cerramos hoy la asamblea en este primer Foro Social Fronterizo. Pero al mismo tiempo abrimos muchos procesos de participación, de comunicación, de movilización y de lucha. Vamos a converger con las acciones y con los movimientos de todos los foros nacionales, regionales y continentales que forman esta maravillosa realidad humana, rica, diversa, creativa y plural que es el Foro Social Mundial. Con todo lo que hacemos, con todo lo que somos, con todo lo que soñamos, tenemos la seguridad de construir para todas y para todos, para la especie humana y para toda la comunidad de los seres vivos…&lt;br /&gt;Otro mundo posible, sin fronteras.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CIUDAD JUAREZ, CHIH.

Juarez, Chihuahua Mexico&lt;br /&gt;______________________________________________________________________________&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE BORDER SOCIAL FORUM&lt;br /&gt;The time is near for the first Border Social Forum and we want your participation in this important event taking place in CD Juárez, Chihuahua where we will put a front to stop the brutal killing of over 400 working young women. The first Border Social Forum will take place on the Mexico-US border with the backdrop on millions of migrants mobilizing in the US for full rights.  This same border is where President GW Bush Jr placed over 6,000 military troops of the National Guard.  The Border Social Forum will take place on the ‘militarized’ border which has been made very violent since the signing of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994. The Mexico-US border suffers from the having the seats of government so far away in Washington D.C. and Mexico D.F.  The ‘Wall of Death’ already with an extension of hundreds of miles is planned for an extension of at least 700 miles by the US Congress led by Republican Sensenbrenner.  He seeks to criminalize migrants with prison time for crossing the border in search of work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Border Social Forum will be an ‘open space that allows for a pluralistic ‘integration’ of the social movement organizations.  The ‘open space’ integration process permits a higher level of organization and unity consistent with making real and possible the slogan ‘another world is possible’ and changing it a bit to say ‘Another world is necessary and with you it is possible’.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GOALS OF THE BORDER SOCIAL FORUM&lt;br /&gt;Create a broad space where everyone fits (pluralistic e inclusive)&lt;br /&gt;Organize the first Border Social Forum 13-15 de October 2006 with 300-500 delegates.&lt;br /&gt;Have participating delegations from all of the border states(US-México border)&lt;br /&gt;Obtain the most broad participation of the grassroots social movements (participation &amp; program)&lt;br /&gt;The integration of the social movements of the global south and north&lt;br /&gt;Internationalize the struggles at the US-Mexico border regions&lt;br /&gt;Pull together an analysis of the present situation on the US-Mexico border (including Latin America &amp;amp; Caribbean).&lt;br /&gt;Produce a set of agreements that will pull together a border plan of action and solutions to the problems faced.&lt;br /&gt;Take action against the ‘Wall of Death’ and get the military out of the border.&lt;br /&gt;Integrate the border plan of action into the World Social Forum in Kenya and the US Social Forum in Atlanta 2007.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THEMATIC TRACKS FOR THE BORDER SOCIAL FORUM:&lt;br /&gt;The organizing committee in its consultation process has designated the following thematic tracks for building the program for the Border Social Forum.&lt;br /&gt;Labor &amp; work&lt;br /&gt;Indigenous Peoples (Sovereignty)&lt;br /&gt;Art &amp;amp; Culture&lt;br /&gt;US-Mexico Relations&lt;br /&gt;Children &amp; senior adults&lt;br /&gt;Human Rights (Traversal)&lt;br /&gt;Gender (Traversal)&lt;br /&gt;Environmental justice&lt;br /&gt;Migration&lt;br /&gt;Youth (Traversal)&lt;br /&gt;Education&lt;br /&gt;Globalization&lt;br /&gt;Health&lt;br /&gt;Food Sovereignty&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SITE:&lt;br /&gt;The Border Social Forum is taking place in CD Juarez, Chihuahua Mexico just across El Paso, Texas on October 13-15, 2006.

   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="ES-MX"&gt;El Foro Social fue organizado primeramente en Brasil como respuesta al Foro Mundial Económico de Davos, Suecia donde los países más ricos del mundo se reúnen para desarrollar estrategias mundiales sobre la globalización del capitalismo.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Empezando el 2001 se ha organizado una Foro Social Mundial anualmente primero en Brasil, luego en India, y el último FSM fue poli-céntrico llevándose acabo en Venezuela, Pakistán y Malí.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;El 2007 se llevara acabo en Nairobi, Kenya en Enero 2007.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="ES-MX"&gt;El Foro Social es un espacio que se organiza por el Consejo internacional y el Comité organizador con el fin de proveerle al movimiento social un espacio auto-organizado para deliberar y compartir historias de las luchas sociales e intercambiar estrategias efectivas para hacerle frente a la globalización neoliberal del capitalismo buscando alternativas y soluciones.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="ES-MX"&gt;La misión del Foro Social es crear un ‘espacio abierto’ para que se de una ‘integración’ natural de los movimientos sociales del mundo.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;La integración de los movimientos sociales vía este espacio auto-organizado construye puentes entre pueblos, movimientos, y organizaciones, a nivel internacional fortaleciendo una visión compartida, la organización y las estrategias hacia un cambio social.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;El concepto del ‘espacio abierto’ es una dinámica que permite el pluralismo y la integración de tal manera que se superan previos esquemas estructurales, y políticos que nos separan entre el movimiento&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="ES-MX"&gt; social.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="ES-MX"&gt;Este espacio abierto permite crear un nivel mayor de organización y de unidad consistente con el proceso hacia ‘Otro Mundo es posible’.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Y como se dijo en el Foro Social Mundial en Caracas, Venezuela ‘otro mundo es necesario y contigo es posible’.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="ES-MX"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="ES-MX"&gt;La comunidad internacional pidió a los movimientos sociales de los Estados Unidos que organicen un primer Foro Social de Estados Unidos.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;La Alianza de base por la Justicia Global (GGJA) organizo una reunión&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;en Washington DC de organizaciones de base para determinar (consulta) si existía una necesidad y voluntad para un Foro Social en el país.&lt;span style=""&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;La respuesta fue un contundente si, al organizar el proceso hacia al primer Foro Social de Estados Unidos.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="ES-MX"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="ES-MX"&gt;Originalmente planeado para el 2006, el Foro Social Estados Unidos fue postergado al 27 de Junio-1 Julio 2007 por los impactos desastrosos del Huracán Katrina en el Sur de Estados Unidos donde se va llevar acabo (Atlanta, Georgia).&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;El Foro Social Estados Unidos (FSEU) se esta organizando en base a 10 regiones de los Estados Unidos incluyendo el Caribe y el Pacifico (Colonias).&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;La región del Suroeste de Estados Unidos consiste de Oklahoma, Texas, Nuevo México y Arizona.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Pero tomamos la decisión de que cualquier foro en el suroeste de EEUU tenía que ser binacional abarcando los estados fronterizos en ambos lados de la frontera.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;La idea es que cada región lleva acabo su Foro como levantando movimientos hacia al Foro Social de Estados Unidos el 2007.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="ES-MX"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="ES-MX"&gt;Sin embargo el Foro Social Fronterizo de ha convertido en algo mas allá de la estructura de regiones por parte del Foro Social Estados Unidos y ahora toma otra vida propia que se enfoqué en la presente situación política, económica y social que vive la frontera y las relaciones entre Estados Unidos y México y Estados Unidos y América Latina.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="ES-MX"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;

 &lt;/span&gt;También los resolutivos hay que llevar al Foro Social de Estados Unidos en Junio-Julio 2007 en Atlanta, Georgia.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Existe la posibilidad dentro de la coyuntura de los movimientos sociales que se construyan puentes organizativos entre las victimas de Katrina en su mayoría Afro-descendientes, la lucha por los derechos de migrantes que son mayormente Latinos, la lucha contra la guerra contra Irak, la militarización de la frontera EEUU-México, y la lucha por el derechos de soberanía indígena.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;La creación de un frente único y unido entre estas fuerzas seria formidable.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                          &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="ES-MX"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="ES-MX"&gt;Rubén Solís&lt;br /&gt;Facilitador&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="ES-MX"&gt;Foro Social Fronterizo&lt;br /&gt;PO Box 830706&lt;br /&gt;San Antonio, TX 78283&lt;br /&gt;210 299 2666 (Unión)&lt;br /&gt;210 222 1704 (Centro)&lt;br /&gt;Cel: 210 378 5699&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:grulla@igc.org"&gt;grulla@igc.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.swunion.blogspot.com/" title="http://www.swunion.blogspot.com"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="ES-MX"&gt;www.swunion.blogspot.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="ES-MX"&gt;Foro Social EEUU:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"  lang="ES-MX" &gt;

Social movements from Mexico and the south will mobilize north to Cd. Juarez and groups from the US and Canada will go south to converge in Cd. Juarez. The goal of the Border Social Forum is to create a space for the ‘integration’ of the social movements from the border bi-national region and to connect the social movements of the global north and global south.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Campaign:&lt;br /&gt;The mobilizing and the campaign to ‘tear down the wall of death’ will kick-off or launch on March 21, 2006 to co-celebrate Don Benito Juarez, Indigenous president of Mexico whose slogan was “as in people and nations, peace is respect for the right of others”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;La Idea:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;La idea del Foro Social fronterizo sale del acuerdo tomado entre organizaciones de movimiento social del sur global y norte global en el Foro Soccial Mundial en caracas, Venezuela 2006. El acuerdo decidio tomar accion para derrumber el ‘MURO DE LA MUERTE’ entre EEUU-Mexico. Este muro de la muerte que Bush quiere fisicamente cerrar la frontera entre Estados Unidos y Mexico. La idea del Foro social Fronterizo es crear un espacio donde puede crear una ‘integracion’ entre el movimiento social de la frontera pero mas alla a la frontera con Mexico y Centro America y frontera norte con Canada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Su presencia, apoyo y solidaridad es necesaria para derrumbar el&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;‘Muro de la Muerte’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;US-Mexico!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23112854-114105989452487820?l=forosocialfronterizo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://forosocialfronterizo.blogspot.com/feeds/114105989452487820/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23112854&amp;postID=114105989452487820' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23112854/posts/default/114105989452487820'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23112854/posts/default/114105989452487820'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forosocialfronterizo.blogspot.com/2006/02/la-idea-del-foro-idea-of-forum.html' title='La Idea del Foro -- The Idea of the Forum'/><author><name>swu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16690147784237705212</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3208/1353/1600/fsf%20logo.4.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23112854.post-114105921111613594</id><published>2006-02-27T10:52:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2006-02-27T10:53:31.133-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Bienvenidos al sitio de informacion sobre el Foro Social Fronterizo</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3208/1353/1600/fsf%20logo.4.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3208/1353/400/fsf%20logo.1.gif" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welcome to the new site for information on the Border Social Forum&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check often for updates!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23112854-114105921111613594?l=forosocialfronterizo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://forosocialfronterizo.blogspot.com/feeds/114105921111613594/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23112854&amp;postID=114105921111613594' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23112854/posts/default/114105921111613594'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23112854/posts/default/114105921111613594'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://forosocialfronterizo.blogspot.com/2006/02/bienvenidos-al-sitio-de-informacion.html' title='Bienvenidos al sitio de informacion sobre el Foro Social Fronterizo'/><author><name>swu</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16690147784237705212</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='28' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3208/1353/1600/fsf%20logo.4.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
