On Saturday, Jan. 26, 2008, there will be global actions against injustice
in response to a call by the World Social Forum for the peoples of the world
to act in unison against war, poverty, exploitation, and environmental degradation.

Atlanta, host city of the first US Social Forum, will be the venue for a statewide People's Movement Assembly, beginning with a caravan and rally at the state capitol. 

Initiated by the organizers of the annual Poor People's Day events at the
Capitol and inspired by 2008 being the 40th anniversary of the historic Poor
People's Campaign for Economic Justice launched by Dr. King, this multi-pronged
effort seeks to bring the voice, aspirations, needs and demands of millions
of working and poor people to the Georgia Capitol. 

Following the caravan and rally, participants will meet to exchange views,
plan ongoing actions and cement relationships and networks.
Hundreds of volunteers are needed throughout the state to mobilize their
communities.

Participation in Jan. 26 is open to all who believe "Another World Is
Possible."
