Left Field
Following its successful inception at Glastonbury 2002, and
spectacular success at the 2003 festival, 2004 has seen the Left Field return
to Glastonbury and make its first appearance at the We Love…Homelands dance
weekender. Bigger, better and angrier than ever! The Left Field aims to
reaffirm the spirit of political debate among festival goers, promoting the
value of trade union membership and collective campaigning. Music can make a
difference.
No Sweat!
is an open, broad-based campaign. We look to the
anti-capitalist protest movements and to the international workers' movement.
We seek to build common, united, campaigning action against exploitation and
the sweatshop bosses. Sweatshop labour is modern, global capitalism stripped
bare. From the small, backstreet sweatshop to some of the biggest corporations
in the world - child labour, forced overtime, poverty wages, unsafe conditions,
harassment of women workers and intimidation of trade unionists are
commonplace.
The European Social Forum
was launched from the World
Social Forum meeting in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
Its first two massive gatherings were in Florence (2002) and Paris (2003). The
ESF is a unique opportunity where social movements, trade unions, NGOs,
refugees, peace and anti-imperialist groups, anti-racist movements,
environmental movements, networks of the excluded and community campaigns from
Europe and the world can come together to discuss how to achieve global social
justice for all and debate ways of making 'another world possible'.
