ISPO is a growing worldwide association of citizens (members in over 50 countries) who use their votes in a new, co-ordinated and effective way to drive all nations to co-operate in solving our planetary crisis. ISPO aims to bring all nations to adopt in principle - and then to simultaneously 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; local campaigning; website; leafleting; public speaking; member development; fundraising. Also see the ‘volunteers’ page on the ISPO website

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.

The Manila Independent Media Center Collective is an autonomous group of grassroots media activists committed in using media production and distribution as a tool for promoting social, environmental and economic justice in the local communities of Manila and the Philippines in general. It is our goal to further empower the marginalized Filipino people in their local communities, who are under-represented in corporate media production and content, and to illuminate and analyze local, national and global issues that impact the ecosystem, grass roots communities and individuals. We seek to generate alternatives to the biases inherent in the corporate mainstream media controlled by profit, and to identify and create positive models for a sustainable and equitable society.
