There is a map showing the location of the gathering and a
PDF file of a poster/leaflet advertising it at
http://grassrootsgathering.freeservers.com

The Grasroots Gathering aims towards a network which would
- Be based on the principle that people should control
their own lives and work together as equals, as part of how
we work as well as what we are working towards.
- Within the network this means rejecting top-down and
state-centred forms of organisation (hierarchical,
authoritarian, expert-based, Leninist etc.) We need a
network that's open, decentralised, and really democratic.
- Call for solutions that involve ordinary people
controlling their own lives and having the resources to do
so: the abolition, not reform, of global bodies like the
World Bank and WTO, and a challenge to underlying
structures of power and inequality.
- Organise for the control of the workplace by those who
work there.
- Call for the control of communities by the people who
live there.
- Argue for a sustainable environmental, economic and
social system, agreed by the people of the planet.
- Working together in ways which are accessible to ordinary
people, particularly women and working-class people, rather
than reproducing feelings of disempowerment and alienation
within our own network.
