We believe in the need to reflect and imagine the future of the world beyond capitalism. We will emphasize the need for multi-lingual, long-term strategy through open dialogue and bridging political theory with practice. By building on the increasing number of conferences worldwide in which people from diverse backgrounds, races and cultures discuss subjects regarding world peace, we hope to build solidarity among diverse organizing communities. Over 1000 participants from Canada, Kenya, Mexico, Ghana, Germany, the U.S. and all over the world will come together in harmony in Portland, Oregon in August 2005 to share ideas regarding new visions, changing the world, the cooperative movement, intentional communities and much, much more.

There will also be a performance of live, multicultural musicians and a theatrical debut prior to the conference. August 26-28, 2005, Portland State University, Portland, Oregon. Not only is this a conference, but it is a multi-lingual, multi-racial alliance building experience.
