ISBO present:
‘The Bottom Will Rise and Create a New World’
Saturday 13th June - 5pm
_________________________________________
The International School for Bottom-up Organizing (ISBO) launch their first book, sharing their work in training Revolutionary Organizers, creating and supporting radical grassroots projects across the Americas, and building powerful relationships of solidarity. From a rural Social Action Research Centre and Palenques in Colombia, to the poor Black community of the Lower Ninth Ward in post-Katrina New Orleans, ISBO is organizing and seeking out radical folk passionate and deeply committed to creating a new world from the Bottom Up!
A founding statement by the ISBO puts it thus: “Ours is an international struggle that must be led by the poorest and darkest, especially women. We all need the same freedom and equality; we all have the same oppressors, worldwide. Our movement will work toward an internationalist, egalitarian world. We foresee a world in which the genius and creativity of humanity is unleashed, in which all humans share and share alike, whether in starvation or in plenty: in which we are free to love and truly take care of one another.”
This evening London-based members of ISBO will be discussing their work and launching their first book ‘The Bottom Will Rise and Create a New World’.
