"No Border Network" Meeting

Warsaw, Poland, May 3-5, 2002

We warmly invite members of the No Border network to Poland,
Europe's Final Frontier for the next network meeting. We understand that
there have been a series of planning meetings this year already concerning
upcoming actions and that many of you will be "meetinged out" by now; still
we are hoping to see you here in Warsaw if you can make it! As you no doubt
know, next year our friends from Ukraine, Belarus and Russia will face new
travel restrictions to Poland and the Border Police, under directives and
with the guidance of and funding from the EU have been super menaces,
impeding not only freedom of movement but also acting as anti-"smuggling"
commandoes to protect corporate interests, etc.; this has already had a very
negative impact on the residents of border regions. With this is mind, we
look forward to all networking which will bring people together in a common
struggle against border regimes.

DICTATOR WATCH AND THE ACTIVIST EXCHANGE

dictator watch

The mission of Dictator Watch is to keep track of the dictators of the world, and to see that they pay for their crimes. We seek the end of dictatorship, in all of its manifestations, including in all of our social institutions. Among these institutions we include political, military, religious, educational, economic, and media entities; and for dictatorship we refer to all of the ways in which they shape us -- manipulate us -- to get us to think and act so as to suit their purposes.

"Organizing for Peace in Times of War"

Workshop, New York City, March 22-24, 2002

Friday March 22 -Sunday, March 24

Organizers Program

A 3-Day Workshop at the Brecht Forum

Fri: 6:00 - 10:00 pm

Sat & Sun: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm

Organizing for Peace in Times of War

(Esperanza Martell)


Organizing at its best is an exciting and transformative activity. It is not only effective in winning struggles, it develops both the individual and collective capacities of the people involved, preparing them for sustained collective efforts. In our society, this kind of organizing is far from the norm. Too often we are unable to develop democratic leadership; our coalitions fail to build effective working relationships; members become frustrated or burned out.

This three-day intensive workshop is for those who are new to organizing as well as experienced people who would like to refresh their thinking. Combining group work and presentations by visiting organizers, we will identify what it takes to build an organization and keep it vital and growing--from productive meetings, to strategic analysis and planning, to democratic participation. We will be looking at how class, race, gender and
homophobia affect our organizing. Enrollment is limited to fifteen. Pre-registration is required. Esperanza Martell is an educator and organizer in the human rights, anti-racist, peace with justice movement. She works with ProLibertad, in
support of Puerto Rican Political Prisoners of colonialism.

The Berlusconi government will not back down on Article 18 of the Workers' Statute (1) and is openly challenging the workers' movement, social opposition, and the unions, asserting in a disparaging manner that he is not afraid of popular protest.
