Activism: A Round-Table with WSF Founding Activist François Houtart

A Round-Table with WSF Founding Activist François Houtart
For activists in the US, the UN conference on the Economic Crisis represents an “eruption” into the usual politics of the General Assembly. What does it mean to the Left in the US? How are we to relate to it?
This panel looks at the origins of this unique conference — both in it’s challenge to the G20’s handling of the economic crisis and in the context of the history of recent Latin American liberation struggles, from Nicaragua to Venezuela to Bolivia. In his time as a Sandinista Foreign Minister in the 1980s d’Escoto successfully brought the United States before the International Court of Justice for its paramilitary activities in Latin America. He also openly criticized both Israeli policy in the occupied Palestinian territories and US policy under the 2nd Bush administration for “acts of aggression” in Iraq and Afghanistan.
When: Saturday, June 27, 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Where: The BRECHT FORUM, 451 West Street (Between Bank & Bethune) New York, NY 10014
