USSF Peace Caucus Final Resolution/ Call to Action

Final Declaration and Action Plan
Adopted by the Peace Caucus of the United States Social Forum
June 30, 2007, Atlanta Georgia

In order to achieve the citizen’s peace plan, to strengthen work for peace and social justice, and to prevent future wars, delegates to the Peace Caucus at the United States Social Forum commit ourselves to taking the following actions to make another world possible. We encourage others in the United States and around the world to join with us to advance the cause of peace with justice.

1) We will participate in multiple activities of community groups other than our own, following the motto of "giving before we ask" others to support our campaigns.

2) In our work we will remain consistently mindful of the connections between justice, peace, human rights, and human relations on the earth.

3) We will constantly strive to facilitate healing as we work to promote a culture of peace and human rights.

4) Recognizing the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on 10 December 2008, we commit to building awareness of human rights in our communities.

5) We commit to continuing the conversations begun at the United States Social Forum, sharing what we have learned and supporting each other in moving forward. We will work to support social forums in our communities in January 2008 as we look towards the second U.S. Social Forum in 2010.

We hope many groups will take up this call to action and carry forward the work begun at the U.S. Social Forum. Further discussion of this document is invited at www.earthaction.org.
