What's Wrong with the Global Justice Movement?

Global Justice Strategy Forum

Saturday, 24th November 9.00am to 3.00pm 

Conway Hall, Red Lion Square, London WC1R 4RL 

Open to the public - free admission* - Tube: Holborn

While global activists cheerfully proclaimed 'victory' over globalisation after shutting down the WTO ministerial meeting in Seattle in 1999, nearly 10 years on it has to be admitted that the free-market juggernaught has comprehensively swept the global justice movement aside. 

Despite numerous protests, the World Social Forum, Make Poverty History, Live 8 and the support of a string of high-profile rock-stars, we should acknowledge that, while we've done a great job in raising public awareness of global problems, by and large our efforts to obtain adequate action by governments have failed. It's not that we've failed to get ANY government action; it's that it remains far too little compared to the really decisive moves needed if global warming, let alone other issues, are to be properly addressed. 

Something is deeply wrong with our movement's strategy - meanwhile the planet burns. Isn't it time we admitted this failure and discussed it openly and honestly? If you're fed up with hearing only about global problems and want to hear about and work on practical and coherent solutions, be they local, national or global, then this forum is for you! 

The Forum is being hosted by Simpol-UK and will open with a Forum Focus at which all attendees will have an opportunity to frame the debate and identify the key issues to which our panel of invited speakers will be asked to respond. The Forum will finish with a further opportunity for cross-fertilising the reactions and ideas of all present, crystallising the most promising solutions, while identifying any key issues which may need to be dealt with at a future Strategy Forum. 

* Admission is free but to ensure sufficient space, you must reserve your seat by emailing Diana Trimble at dtrimble at simpol.org by no later than Friday 9th November.

Speakers:

Charles Secrett, former director, Friends of the Earth UK

Colin Hines, activist, author and former economist for Greenpeace 

Aubrey Meyer, director, The Global Commons Institute http://www.gci.org.uk

David Wasdell, director, the Meridian Programme http://www.meridian.org.uk

John Bunzl, founder, the Simultaneous Policy http://www.simpol.org

Note: The Forum will be followed at 3.30 pm by Simpol-UK's Annual General Meeting.
