Americas Social Forum in
Guatemala
Guatemala was chosen as venue
for the 2008 Social Forum of the
Americas, in recognition of the
importance of its current
indigenous and people s
movement.
"The decision to bring the event
to Guatemala will allow to meet
an old commitment to hold a
forum with an indigenous
commitment," Joel Suarez, one of
its promoters, told Prensa
Latina.
The organizing committee regards
as very important the decision
of the recent Summit of Native
Peoples here to support the
forum, expected to be attended
by about 50,000 people.
These meetings have become
permanent spaces to look for
alternatives, exchange
viewpoints, and strengthen
alliances among social
organizations, peoples, and
movements convinced that
"another world is possible."
