[Marxism] Mumbai Resistance 2004

[Philip Ferguson <plf13@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

An extract from the latest newsletter of the International League of 
People's Struggle, which groups together about 250 organisations:



2. On Mumbai Resistance 2004  (MR2004).  As you know, the ILPS has 
initiated and is co-organizing with other progressive organizations 
MR2004 which will take place on January 17-20, 2004 parallel to the 
World Social Forum in Mumbai.

MR-2004 is intended to gather organizations in India and from around the
world who are genuinely opposed to imperialist plunder of the world’s
resources and the wars of aggression that the imperialist countries led 
by the US wage to grab resource-rich territory and impose their will on 
other sovereign nations.

MR 2004 will hold a two-day seminar and a series of workshops on issues 
that affect the lives of the people, a day of cultural resistance on 
January 19th and a mass rally on January 20th.

We ask your support for this project.  You can send representatives who 
will take part in the activities of MR2004.  If you cannot go to Mumbai, 
you can organize an activity in your own country to coincide with the 
events in Mumbai.

3. International Campaign Against US Overseas Military Bases:   The ICC 
in its meeting on Feb. 28- Mar. 2, 2003, decided to launch an 
international campaign to demand the dismantling of US overseas military 
bases.  This campaign was launched in an international conference held 
in Chania, Greece on September 20-22, 2003.  A conference communiqué was 
approved and a guide for action was drawn up.  An initial coordinating 
committee was set up composed of representatives from the Philippines, 
Turkey and Greece plus the ILPS General Secretary.  A secretariat based 
in Greece was set up.  The main tasks for the coming months are:  (1) to 
build the organization for the campaign:  consolidate the links to 
organizations that we have reached, reach out to more 
anti-bases/anti-war groups/orgs, build anti-bases campaign committees at 
various levels and among various sectors;  (2) carry out research and 
documentation;  (3) carry out actions in various countries; (4) prepare 
for a bigger conference to enlarge the coordinating committee to include 
representatives from other key countries in Asia, South America, Europe, 
and US.

We ask you to support this campaign.  We have already sent you a copy of 
the communiqué of the launching conference.  We would very much welcome 
your suggestions and ideas on how we can carry out this campaign 
successfully. Please write to the campaign secretariat at: 
antibases03@xxxxxxxx  and to the General Secretariat at: info@xxxxxxxxxxxx
