Dear Audrey,
Thanks for sharing this statement that I also
agree with. Would you accept to intervene during our
convergence assembly about those issues? I think it would be
very relevant regarding the current context...
Warmly,
Mégane

Dear all,

Will the Convergence Assembly deal with the
recent statement and the planned opening day
march, which seem to indicate that the WSF
organizers have been dragged into
the 'war against (Islamic) terror' agenda? My
organization, the National Lawyers Guild (US) is working on
the statement below, for which we will be seeking
endorsement Audrey We are writing to
express our alarm at the position adopted by the
Preparatory Commission in its comunique regarding the tragic
events at Tunisia's Bardo national museum. In
particular, its announcement that the opening
World Social Forum march will come under the theme
of "Peoples of the world united against
terrorism". We are seriously concerned that
the Preparatory Commission
may be facilitating the usurpation of
the World Social Forum by the "war on
terror"
agenda. Progressives
around the globe view the World Social Forum as
an alternative space in which they can critically
reflect upon and challenge dominant narratives of state,
capitalist and imperialist power that keep peoples from
imagining and achieving "another world". The first
principle of the original WSF charter is to bring
together civil society organizations "that are opposed
to neoliberalism and to domination of the world by capital
and any form of imperialism". For the past 15
years, the discourses, policies and practices of the
"war on terror" have played a key role in
(re)producing the various hierarchies (of socio-economic
status, of citizenship, of sovereignty, etc) that
perpetuate capitalist and imperialist power. We believe the
role of progressives should always be to express
empathy and solidarity with innocent victims of crime,
regardless of the perpetrator, whether states or
non-state actors. We also believe there are times when
"civil society" may find it in their strategic
interests to work with governments to achieve certain aims.
However, in a context in which
clarity is lacking and where it is difficult
to access accurate information, it is incumbent upon
progressives to challenge official narratives and propose
emancipatory alternatives.
The global justice movement cannot
allow itself to be used for a domestic and geopolitical
agenda that seeks to manipulate the emotions of the public
to justify a further militarization of Tunisian society (and
the world) in a way that only benefits
the security/military-industrial-complex. It also
enables the entrenchment of racialized counter-terror
practices that marginalize whole communities, criminalize
dissent and, most importantly, divert attention away
from the most pressing social, economic and political
issues that were at the heart of the uprisings in
Tunisia and elsewhere in the world.
We believe the
raison d'être of the WSF is to speak truth to
power, not to collude with power. In light of this, we hope
the WSF Preparatory Commission statement will be redrafted
to take our concerns into consideration in a cooperative and
consultative fashion.

Mégane,
I will only agree to do this if you also agree to be
the co-moderator. You have done the work to bring the
assembly together and as co-moderators we will have gender,
language (French/Engish), ideological, cultural and
generational balance. What do you
say?

Gerald
