Intervenciones sociales: Acercamiento a la creación del cambio social

Water is a human right; it is part of the Commons, and belongs to everyone. Yet as the world's supplies of fresh, drinkable water are quickly being used up, transnational water corporations are attempting to "corner the market" on water, move this critical resource from public to private hands, and sell our water back to us through privatization schemes. When public resources become privatized – schools, energy, public space, water – we the people lose control, the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. Water is one resource that we can’t afford to lose! This workshop will be a space for communities who are fighting water privatization and bottled water companies to come together and share stories and strategies for keeping our water in public hands.

In June 1996, representatives from major labor unions and political activists on the Left held the founding convention of the American Labor Party (LP). The organizers of this effort hoped to break the stranglehold on American by the dominance of two major political parties who have manifestly betrayed the interest of working people both domestically and internationally. But by 2010 the Labor Party has stalled. This workshop will draw together activists and labor organizers from diverse backgrounds to share their experiences with the Labor Party, and suggest avenues for further organizing and study.
