Dear friends of CADRE, This list has been set up as a support and communications network for activists, to help build global solidarity and coalition around ending elite corporate hegemony and bringing about an era of democratic renaissance. The initial membership of the list - you all - is everyone who has expressed an interest in the workshop: - - - "Seeking an Effective Democratic Response to Globalization and Corporate Power" - an international workshop for activist leaders - June 25 <incl> July 2 - 1998 - Nova Scotia - Canada - - - This list, from now until the workshop has happened, will be devoted to organizing the workshop, distributing information that will be needed by delegates, and setting up the panel sessions. If you are in any way interested in the workshop or the longer-range coalition efort, if there is any chance at all you may want to be a delegate, or if you just want to monitor progress and stick in your two cents once-in-a-while, then please do stay tuned to this list. The list is moderated, by me, and the traffic will be low. Feel free to send things in, and I'll incorporate what is helpful to the workshop into my infrequent postings. During the workshop itself, this list will serve as a remote-participation channel. We'll have someone onsite monitoring submissions to the list, which will be taken as remote contributions to the workshop process. Selected items will be brought into the workshop as inputs to the deliberations. Daily workshop-reports will be sent out over this list, as well as over cyberjournal/PPI.
