  1. This 14th edition was launched on Sunday, May 1st with a march that coincided with <\/span>the events celebrating International Workers \u0301 Day. The 2022 WSF, which took place <\/span>May 1-6 in Mexico City, is the first face-to-face and remote meeting (hybrid) since the <\/span>advent of Covid in 2019.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. The pandemic, which continues causing damage on a global level, did not prevent <\/span>representatives of social associations, collectives and movements from Africa, Asia, <\/span>the Middle East, Latin America, and Europe from gathering in Mexico City.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. The 2022 WSF had to overcome obstacles that made it difficult or even prevented the <\/span>attendance of representatives of various countries, mainly Africa and Asia. We <\/span>denounced the denial of visas to members of delegations of several countries and the <\/span>denial of entry by Immigration authorities to many of our comrades.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. More than 3 thousand participants of autonomous women and feminist movements, <\/span>members of various sexuality groups, labor unions, indigenous communities, social <\/span>churches, environmentalist groups, antiracists, urban and rural movements, migrant <\/span>organizations and many other social groups, from over 30 countries on 4 continents <\/span>met in 789 workshops and assemblies at 15 venues in Mexico City\u2019s Historical Center, <\/span>at gatherings held in over 50 rooms, patios and auditoriums, in addition to tents set <\/span>up in Plaza de Santo Domingo, where everyone was invited to reflect, exchange ideas <\/span>and imagine actions to change the world. Issues included climate, land-respecting <\/span>agriculture, sustainable economics, human rights, feminism, minorities, education, <\/span>workers\u2019 rights, culture, communication, self-determining of peoples… and so many <\/span>others! This Forum has surely sparked a series of collective actions that will soon <\/span>unfold.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Movements face a series of challenges as result of the irrational exploitation of <\/span>natural resources such as water, land, and space, which accelerate climate change, <\/span>migratory trends, the displacement of peoples and, with these, the de-structuring of <\/span>our societies. This economic, social, and cultural violence is a form of permanent <\/span>warfare to which humanity is being submitted, which can only be stopped with radical <\/span>systemic change.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Governments have used the pandemic to attack democratic liberties, to impose a <\/span>series of restrictions to peoples\u2019 rights and, above all, to give unjustified power to <\/span>large private pharmaceuticals, the main beneficiaries of a universal pandemic brought <\/span>about by irrational capitalism.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. Dominant policies of austerity and structural adjustment have been reaffirmed. <\/span>Neoliberal arrogance is being imposed. Instability, wars, violent repression, and the <\/span>support of terrorism have become the norm in all regions. Reactionary ideologies and <\/span>far-right populism have become increasingly active.<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. The 2022 Mexico WSF is one step towards the construction of new phase of alter<\/span>worldism. Each phase of alter-worldism is a response to the dominant neoliberal <\/span>capitalism and is based all forms of mobilization.<\/span><\/li>\n
  9. The 2022 WSF was marked by this global situation and was guided by resistance. <\/span>Social and citizen movements are aware that strategic action is urgently needed. They <\/span>have affirmed that the need for resistance does not annul these contradictions, and <\/span>that all possibilities are still on the table.<\/span><\/li>\n
  10. This year, a new war has broken out in the Ukraine, which was invaded by Russia. True <\/span>to its origins and its Charter of Principles, the WSF denounces this invasion, the deaths <\/span>of thousands of civilians, and the use of deadly violence, whose effects have been felt <\/span>around the world. This new scenario of war adds to many others where communities <\/span>are suffering the consequences. Peoples must find a path towards the construction of <\/span>peace.<\/span><\/li>\n
  11. It must not be forgotten that the apartheid of the state of Israel, the wars in Syria, <\/span>Iraq, Mali and Afghanistan, and between global imperial powers in other parts of the <\/span>world is the supreme expression of the shameful and petty-minded dispute for global <\/span>hegemony in which there are no winners or losers, only the desolation and death of <\/span>our peoples.<\/span><\/li>\n
  12. Much was at stake at the 2022 World Social Forum. In a profoundly contradictory <\/span>global setting, we were able to redefine an alter-worldly proposal that corresponds to <\/span>this new situation; understand the novel contradictions of the global system; and <\/span>motivate movements to resist, to find alternatives, and to construct a new project of <\/span>emancipation.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
