"Stop Corporate Globalization! - Another World is Possible"
This statement was crafted by the Our World Is Not For Sale (OWINFS) network - a worldwide network of organizations, activists and social movements fighting the trade and investment liberalizing aspects of the current model of corporate globalization. OWINFS is committed to a new, socially just and sustainable trading system.
This new statement is an updated version of the previous "WTO: Shrink or Sink" statement. It has already been signed by 160 Organisations and includes an overall critique of the current globalization model, showing the impacts of this model on workers, peasants, family farmers, fishers,migrants, women, indigenous peoples, the environment and natural resources etc. And also posing the vision of a global economy built on the principles of economic justice, genuine ecological sustainability, and democratic accountability, one which assert the interests of people over corporations.
Excerpt from the Statement: "...The choice before us is stark: either we accept the current corporate-centered global order and forfeit the welfare of succeeding generations and the future of the planet itself, or we take up the difficult challenge of moving toward a new system that puts at its heart the interests of people, communities, and the environment."
I encourage you to review the whole of this statement, and hope you will consider signing it. You can view the current list of signatories at http://www.ourworldisnotforsale.org and can read the statement in English, Spanish, French and Italian.
