Round of updates!
Check status:
We already did the Feb 11th: share criterias of CMM and VS.
We agreed to start a draft document for GTA's criteria that emerged from that conversation. Need to form a specific group to do the writing of the draft.
Mauricio will send a first draft. Then we will have meeting with the other WeaverA local, regional, or national network or organization that connects or consists of multiple Alternatives. It should be a collective process of some kind, rather than only a single individual. By being a "weaver", they are committed to participate in the GTA, developing ways of dialogue, interconnection, collaboration and solidarity with other Weavers. Examples: Vikalp Sangam and Crianza Mutua., Crianza Mutua Colombia.
Next in schedule:
The WSF will take place in May, first week. Will be phisical and virtual.
How can GTA use the space of the WSF to expand our message?
As GTA we recognise that there are many issues about the WSF and its politics. Our position is that we as GTA are critical of the dominant system and are working for radical alternatives. Can we use the opportunity of the WSF to claim a space for alternatives and continue to build solidarity through our activities there? The extent of our impact is partly based on our energy and effort - do we focus effort on shaping the WSF itself and/or also on our strengthening our own work.
