LET´S GLOBALISE THE FIGHT!
JOINT MOBILISATION OF PEOPLES ON THE MOVE AND RURAL ORGANISATIONS

For the first time rural organisations, farmers, rural women, migrants, refugees, agricultural workers, displaced populations, and the landless will mobilise together on the 12th October 2010 in Quito, a city that boasts more than 1000 years of history,  in reaffirmation of the identity of Abya Yala.  

The IV World Social Forum that will take place in Quito, Ecuador from the 8th to the 12th October 2010 is not only an event but also a place where peoples on the move and social organisations fighting for universal citizenship, the right to freedom of mouvement, the right to settle, who are against migratory dicrimination, and not being considered illegal, can converge together.  Our school of thought coincides completely with the peasant fight promoted by CLOC/Vía Campesina who will be holding their V World Congress from the 8th to the 16th of October.  The co-existence of global problems and struggle for land, territory, water, food sovereignty, unites us and calls upon us to globalize the fight against neo-liberalism and for the protection and recognition of full rights for all wherever they are in the world.

To mark this year’s celebration of our 200 years of independence from Spain, we show our support and join the resistance movement of indigenous people against colonialsim, neoliberalism, and capitalism.  We call everyone to join us on the 12th October in the Worldwide March of People on the Move and Rural Organisations in favour of people’s auto determination and construction of plurinational states.
