A SEED is network that initiates actions
and campaigns on environmental and social justice issues.
Our current campaigns are centred on issues surrounding the
production, distribution and consumption of food (small, local
organic farms instead of agribusiness, biotechnology and supermarkets
selling genetically modified food); and the coordination of
the World Bank Boycott in Europe. Our main activities are
promoting discussion, encouraging positive action, distributing
publications and coordinating meetings. We hope we can help
you to organise your campaign, contact other useful groups,
and find out useful information.

in a new, co-ordinated and effective way to drive all nations
to co-operate in solving our planetary crisis. ISPO aims to

implement - the Simultaneous Policy (SP), a range of democratically
selected regulations to bring about economic justice, environmental
security and peace around the world. With SP, global citizens
are replacing destructive competition with fruitful co-operation.
Voluntary help needed: internet campaigning;

The Student World Assembly is designed to
build a global community using an internet-based process of
raising issues of global concern, deliberating, and deciding
on a position to take regarding the chosen issue. The Student
World Assembly aims at involving every global citizen on earth
as opposed to focusing on individual regions. It is not based
on country lines or nationalities but rather people who share
similar views on the issues that surround them.
Voluntary help needed: spreading the word,
leading to potential participants and supporters including
individuals, entire schools, related organizations, foundations,
and others. In addition, the Student World Assembly will be
holding the first annual Student World Assembly Convention
at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo
during the summer of 2004. Although specific jobs have yet
to be determined, volunteer hours will be much appreciated
at the event.

The World Social Forum (WSF) is an open
meeting place where groups and movements of civil society
opposed to neo-liberalism and a world dominated by capital
or by any form of imperialism, but engaged in building a planetary
society centred on the human person, come together to pursue
their thinking, to debate ideas democratically, to formulate
proposals, share their experiences freely and network for
effective action. The WSF debates alternative means to building
a globalization in solidarity, which respects universal human
rights and those of all men and women of all nations and the
environment, and is grounded in democratic international systems
and institutions at the service of social justice, equality
and the sovereignty of peoples.

www.nigd.org
NIGD is an international think-tank that
aims at promoting global democratization by producing and
developing emancipatory knowledge for democratic movements,
organizations and governments. We see democracy not as a model
but as a process of democratization. NIGD's work is based
on the conviction that globalization as coming-together-of-humanity
must be based on cross-cultural dialogue concerning both philosophical
fundamentals and concrete reform proposals. NIGD projects
are usually joint endeavours with a number of partners from
the global south.
NIGD has been involved in transnational
campaigns, for instance for a currency transactions tax and,
more generally, for global democratization.
NIGD aims at strengthening global civil society and is also
a founding member of the International Council of the World
Social Forum.
Please consult our website for a list of our concrete projects.
Voluntary help needed: we would warmly welcome
voluntary assistance in organising discussion sessions in
various forums around the world on strategies towards global
democratization. We also welcome specific skills - fund-raisers;
help with developing our website; and volunteers to assist
us with membership e-mailings and newsletters and recruitment
of new members (particularly from the global south).
