The World Social Forum

"
Alternatives' mission is to create a world where international solidarity, environmental rights, democratic rights and human dignity are universally respected.
Alternatives knows that a world of such societies is possible. We know this because we have already seen so much progress since our founding in 1994, thanks to dozens of projects and campaigns with allies in numerous social movements, over a thousand interns, countless volunteers and a dedicated and caring staff, all of whom are determined to see our mission succeed."
