>people at its first meeting in 2001. Two years
>later, some 100,000 attended, from across Latin
>America and around the world. The social forum
>movement has meanwhile become a genuine global
>movement, with tens of thousands attending the
>annual meetings of the European Social Forum in
>Italy and France. And tens of thousands more are
>expected at the next World Social Forum to be
>held in January 2004 in Mumbai (Bombay), India
>and an Americas Social Forum in Quito, Ecuador
>in July 2004.
>
>Around the world, the movement stresses its
>common ground: a world free of militarism and
>war, for human and civil rights as well as
>economic and social justice. Under the principle
>of self-organization, the forums provide the
>opportunity for workshops and meetings initiated
>by a wide range of groups.
>
>The Chicago Social Forum is one of a number of
>regional and local social forums being organized
>around the world. In the U.S., organizing for
>local social forums from New York City to the
>Pacific Northwest are underway as a step toward
>a proposed North American Social Forum in 2005.
>
>Join us for the inaugural Chicago Social Forum
>and help us organize because another Chicago is
>possible.
