Diverse organizations converged last weekend in Cuidad Juarez for the first coordination meeting to plan the historical Social Forum of the Border 1 to take place May 3-6, 2006 in Juarez. The call for the foro comes in face of increasing violence along the border, brutal attacks against migrants and a proposal for the construction of a death wall from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. This successful meeting formed new partnership and furthered a commitment to focus on movement building on both sides of the border.
The event is coming soon and logistical planning are underway. Soon a process for delegate registration (sliding scale) and workshop registration will be established.
The next coordinating meeting is Macuh 25-26 in Cuidad Juarez.
