ATTAC

www.attac.org

ATTAC (Association for the Taxation of financial Transactions for the Aid of Citizens) is an international network of independent national and local groups in 33 countries. It promotes the idea of an international tax on currency speculation (the Tobin Tax) and campaigns to outlaw tax havens, replace pension funds with state pensions, cancel Third World debt, reform or abolish the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and, more generally, recapture the democratic space that has been lost to the financial world. ATTAC is independent from all political parties, and brings together labour unions, associations, MPs, academics and citizens from all walks of life, in self-education and peaceful action.

World Bank Boycott Europe

wbboycott@aseed.antenna.nl

www.wbbeurope.org
The World Bank Boycott is a global initiative, which aims to put an end to socially and environmentally destructive World Bank policies and projects, through grassroots financial pressure. The World Bank raises 80% of its money by selling bonds on private capital markets and many of these are held by everyday people and can be found in our pension funds, mutual funds, life insurance schemes, university endowments, churches, local governments, and trade unions. The more such institutions turn away from investing in World Bank bonds, the more the Bank’s principle source of income is jeopardised.

Voluntary help needed: We are constantly looking for groups or individuals in new places willing to join the network or to participate in existing local campaigns.

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).

FoE Sweden works with public information, mobilizing action and influencing decision-makers on all levels, from the household to the national and international levels, on a wide range of topics. A recurring theme is highlighting the role of the powerful economic driving forces behind a type of development that leads to human and environmental destruction. Much of the work is carried out by volunteers in working groups on issues such as energy, traffic, agriculture but also cross-cutting issues such as international financial institutions, the European Union, globalization etc. Local groups decide their own activities, but also participate in national and international campaigns. A major activity during the past years has been the Sustainable Sweden project, based on the concept of "fair shares of environmental space". FoE Sweden has produced a series of publications, touching on issues such as targets for material and energy flows, the household level, the local level, limited environmental space as a source of conflict, etc. The local group in Stockholm has produced an ambitious report on Sustainable Stockholm

The World Development Movement tackles the underlying causes of poverty. We lobby decision-makers to change the policies that keep people poor. We research and promote alternative approaches. We mobilise consumers, shareholders and governments to hold multinational companies accountable for their actions. We are lobbying for the reform of the World Trade Organisation and we support people in the developing world who are standing up against injustices of the world.

Voluntary help needed: WDM does receive a high number of requests for volunteering experience but as there are more requests than available positions we advertise specific volunteer positions on our website.
