ESF Istanbul
(June, 29th) Amidst the global capitalist crisis, which recently show its' face in Greece with the IMF-EU austerity plan, and the ongoing crisis in countries as Latvia, Hungary, Romania, and other places, we are going to gather the European Social Forum in Istanbul.
Economical, financial, political, social and ecological crises cannot be seperated from each other. So all the movements struggling against capitalism, imperialism, fascism and the far right, patriarchy, destruction of earth and nature should join their hands to develop a common strategy. In Istanbul ESF, we the social movements, are going to eloborate such a common strategy of action.
Inspired by the World Social Forum the European Social Forum, since its beginning in Florence 2002, has motivated the gathering of many political, cultural and social initiatives in Europe. It has been the starting point for the demonstrations against the Iraq War, the campaigns against the EU directive to promote privatisation of Public Services and strengthened popular movements of cooperation in Europe for climate justice, food sovereignty and against the privatization of water.
