More on the Ecosocialist International Meeting

Further report backs from the International Ecosocialist meeting held at the weekend are coming in, and all seem encouraging. The body is to be officially known as the Ecosocialist International Network. The Ecosocialist Manifesto is being re-written in time for the next (larger and hopefully teleconferenced) gathering in Brazil. A new website for the International Network should be up and running within the next few weeks with international reports, solidarity appeals and a forum for communication and debate. British comrades were the largest national grouping represented - it would be good if the various British based groups represented could network together on a national basis too.

Most of those at the conference are in the process of mobilising for the International Day of Action on Climate Change on December 8th. The range and widespread nature of action on that day should be impressive. Participants at the Paris meeting heard that there would be a demonstration in Amazonia!
