<H1 style="MARGIN: auto 0in">Call for Day(s) of Action and Mobilisation -
January 26th 2008<o:p></o:p></H1>
<P>We are millions of women and men, organisations, networks, movements, trade
unions from all parts of the world,<BR>we come from villages, regions, rural
zones, urban centres,<BR>we are of all ages, peoples, cultures,
beliefs,<BR>but we are united by the strong conviction that<o:p></o:p></P>
<P><STRONG>ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE!</STRONG><o:p></o:p></P>
<P>With all the richness of our plurality and diversity and our alternatives
and proposals, we struggle against neo-liberalism, war, colonialism, racism
and patriarchy which produce violence, exploitation, exclusion, poverty,
hunger and ecological disaster and deprive people of human
rights.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P>For many years we have been resisting and constructing innovative
processes, new cultures of organization and action from the local to the
global, in particular within the processes and Charter of Principle of the
World Social Forum from which this call emerges.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P>Aware of the need to set our own agenda and to increase the impact of these
thousands of expressions and manifestations, we are committed to strengthening
the solidarity and convergence amongst our struggles, campaigns, and
constructions of alternatives and alliances.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P>We commit ourselves to a week of action which will culminate in a Global
Day of Mobilisation and Action on January 26, 2008.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P>With our diversity which is our strength, we invite all men and women to
undertake throughout this week creative actions, activities, events and
convergences focusing on the issues and expressed in the ways they
choose.<o:p></o:p></P>
