Dear colleagues,
I received this invitation from a colleague organizing around World Water
Day, March 22 to partner with them on an event at the UN Church Center. I
think we should go ahead and co-sponsor and we can feature the day as one of the
20 days of action in the 20 DAYS TO G20 mobilization. Let me know what you
think.
Also, please send me any information you may want to feature as part of the
20 DAYS TO G20 mobilization, e.g. you may have a campaign such as this Global
Water Campaign that you would like to connect with the financial crisis
meltdown.
I will be sending more news shortly about the CSW and March 8th initiative.
For now, I think you have received the GCAP e-newsletter featuring IWD
initiatives that the FTF is spearheading. Here's an excerpt:
The first opportunity we have to ensure our voices are heard in a
coordinated way worldwide comes in just two weeks time with International Women's Day
when we will link gender equality with the growing food and finance crises
faced largely by women. Please do look for inspiration to the Feminist Task
Force Toolkit and the events already planned to make sure we make March a month
of action building up to the G20 mobilisation in London and globally on the
28th of March.
GCAP is getting ready for International Women's Day 2009 mobilisation. The
emphasis will be to highlight the linkages between women, poverty and the
global crises (food, fuel and financial). Twenty Days after March 8th a mass
civil society rally will take place in London and simultaneously in other
locations around the world to keep poverty on the G20 agenda. For this 20 day period
the GCAP Feminist taskforce will keep circulating information and messages
related to gender equality and the crises to all who sign up to the campaign.
On _International Women's Day 2009 - March 8th_

Hi Rosa,
It was good speaking with you today! Thanks again for looking into this
potential collaboration.
As I was saying, my organization _We, The World_
(http://www.wetheworld.org/index.htm) is announcing our _Global Water _
(http://www.globalwatercampaign.org/) _Awareness & Action _ (http://www.globalwatercampaign.org/) _Campaign_
(http://www.globalwatercampaign.org/) which launches worldwide March 20-22,
2009 with programs, civic actions, festivals, concerts, rallies, broadcasts,
theater, arts presentations and other activities worldwide. To find out
more, see below and/or go to _www.GlobalWaterCampaign.org_
(http://www.globalwatercampaign.org/)
We're interested in collaborating with your group to do an event at the
Church Center on Friday March 20th in the afternoon (1PM-4PM). This would
preferably be on the second floor, or another space if necessary.
The event will include speakers, workshops, artistic presentations and other
consciousness-raising on the theme of water, the environment and social
change.
We're wondering if you would like us to promote your important work as part
of the Water Campaign. And in particular, would you be willing to reserve a
room at the Church Center for March 20?
We will give you the opportunity to be on the program and speak about your
group if you want.
And we will be happy to promote your group on our website and in emailings
to our network of over 10,000 organizations and individuals.
We are interested in keeping our costs down, so if you reserve the room, I
understand it will be 1/2 price (which we will cover).
Thanks again for your interest!
Below is more info about the Global Water Campaign.
Take care,
Rick
