MELBOURNE - AUSTRALIA
SECOND LATIN AMERICAN & ASIA-PACIFIC SOLIDARITY GATHERING
21 - 22 OCTOBER 2006
Melbourne Trades Hall
corner of Lygon and Victoria Streets, Carlton

"Building Bridges, Organising Globally"

"For the right to organise globally"

Dear friends, comrades, activists,
 
Through this letter we would like to communicate to all those interested in the struggle for social justice that the Solidarity Gathering with Latin America and the Asia-Pacific will be held on the 21-22 of October of 2006.  This Gathering was initially planned for the months of May or June, but due to organisers' time constraints and insufficient funds we have decided to hold the second Solidarity Gathering with Latin America and the Asia-Pacific in the month of October with the 21st and 22nd being the central days.
 

We think that the months of October and November will be ones of active solidarity with Latin America in Australia.  During these months we will be visited by important representatives of the social and popular movements.  Representatives of the Mapuche Indigenous movement from Chile and from the Argentinean social movements will visit different cities in Australia promoting the Solidarity Gathering and their respective struggles, from Bolivia a representative from the Coalition in defence of Water and we hope a representative from El Salvador popular Movement.  Just before the Gathering representatives from different grass-root movements will be arrived in Australia. 

During the Gathering on the 21st and 22nd of October the representatives of the different struggles across the continent will provide information on their respective movements and their proposals, there will be discussion workshops to finalise a plenary in which there will be resolutions discussed referring to future relations between our two continents in order to continue the struggle and resistance against corporate globalisation.
