The Mission Statement:

A World Beyond Capitalism 2007 invites activists to come to the Pacific Northwest in October 2007 and engage in several days of educational discussion and visionary dialogue.

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 non-violent 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.

This year's conference will emphasize a community approach to learning and networking. Registration is free of charge as always and for free transportation please call (360) 561-1447 or (206) 337-1556. This approach to networking activists, in a small community, has proven very rewarding at events such as Z Media Institute 2007 and the Healthcare Justice Gathering.

As we are an event of unparalleled access and outreach, we're going to try a radical 2-city approach to the AWBC this year: The Seattle, Washington venue will feature open forum networking amongst activists who desire a world free from capitalism, rather than speakers and topics. The Olympia venue will feature speakers and workshops from all over the world. Both events are completely free of charge.

The first portion of the ABWC on October 4th will be in Olympia, Washington. The first day of the conference, including lunch with free vegan and vegetarian pizza and more food, will be held at the Millersylvania Park Environmental Learning Center (ELC). The ELC includes a dining hall/ kitchen, restrooms/ showers, one amphitheater, one private swim area, eight canoes, two rowboats, three Ballfields, plus a volleyball and a horseshoe court so there will be plenty of room for break out groups.

The initial workshops (such as Theatre of the Oppressed at 1pm) will be taught here and there will be free time to enjoy the hiking trails and canoes, rowboats, ballfields, and the volleyball and a horseshoe court.

The ELC also has about 40 tables so people are free to exhibit on these tables with their non-corporate, non-government (and definitely non-politician) activist group material from 1pm-3pm.

Millersylvania Park is an 842-acre camping park with 3,300 feet of freshwater shoreline on Deep Lake. The park, filled with trails, is abundant in old-growth cedar and fir trees.

Millersylvania Park is located at 12245 Tilly Road South, Olympia, WA, 98512.

There will also be many film festivals by night on October 4th and many classes, workshops by day on October 5th and as well as Riotfolk performing on October 5th!



The second portion of the AWBC will be as follows:

Date and Time: Saturday, October 20th, 2007.
It will begin at 12pm. It will end at 4pm.

Location:
4001 - 9th Avenue NE
Seattle, WA 98105




Everything is free…As it should be.

Love for the people,

"The non-violent approach does not immediately change the heart of the oppressor. It first does something to the hearts and souls of those committed to it. It gives them new self-respect; it calls up resources of strength and courage that they did not know they had."

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
