Upcoming European Social Forum, London, 15-17 October

With its catchphrase ‘Another World Is Possible’, the ESF is a giant gathering for everyone opposed to war, racism and corporate power and for everyone who wants to see global justice, workers’ rights and a sustainable society.

Over the course of three days there will be around 500 seminars and workshops, a multitude of cultural events, a march through central London and a rally at Trafalgar Square, culminating with a gig by Asian Dub Foundation.
