Urban Unrest

10 January 2008 | Opportunities | Ernesto Aguilar

The World Association of Community Radio broadcasters (AMARC) will actively participate in the January 26th Global Day of Action to promote communications rights as a fundamental human right.

The AMARC network of community radios in more than 110 countries will also cover the decentralized mobilizations and actions of organizations and social movements of Civil Society for the Global day of Action on January 26, 2008.

In 2008, the World Social Forum (WSF) will be a week of action culminating in a Global Day of Mobilisation and Action on 26 January 2008. For the first time, the WSF will be fully decentralised, meaning that every organisation and movement will carry out their own activities where they wish. The overlap with celebration the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) provides an extra opportunity for linkage to draw out central human rights struggles of today and the need for action!
