Newsletters
from the Sierra Madre # 44
March,
2001
This newsletter is devoted to
"PHA2000," the first international event of the
People's Health Assembly, which took place in
Bangladesh in December, 2000. Activists from nearly
100 lands testified to how the health of people
and the environment is suffering due to global
policies that put corporate profits before basic
needs. A People's Charter for Health was endorsed
to help mobilize people throughout the world in
the struggle toward a fairer, healthier, more
sustainable social order.
Here you will not find a meeting
report, but rather a critical look at what
we can learn from PHA2000--its strengths and
its weaknesses--in hopes of achieving a dynamic
way forward and facilitating even better events
for global solidarity in the future.
