Diane Matte will represent the World March in a meeting of the WSF International Council that is being held January 28-29. We will also take part in numerous meetings of various social movements throughout the week leading up to the adoption of a joint statement by social movements. In addition, regional meetings will be organized during the week.
Also the World March in Brazil is making a major effort to set up stands, distribute flyers on the March, etc. over the week. The stands will be both inside and outside the PUC and there will be women at the stands who will be selling and distributing various World March. The stand that is inside will be on the street "meeting place" the first alley behind the entrance door.
