SWOP homepageBorder Social Forum Update; Border Social Forum Officially Opens In Juarez
Ciudad Juarez – The Border Social Forum officially opened today with a plenary, art and music in the theatre at the Autonomous University of Juarez. Panelists opened the Forum with a series of speeches denouncing the US Congress proposed “Wall of Death” and affirming the World Social Forum’s slogan, Another World is Possible.
“Another World without Borders is Possible and Necessary,” chanted the crowd following a speech by Ruben Solis, BSF Coordinator. “The neo-liberal capitalist system doesn’t value human beings,” said Solis. “We have a dream for a better world.”
