[WSMDiscuss] {Ubuntu} [social-movements] URGENT: Solidarity with Prof Walden Bello in the face of attack

Wed Apr 6 09:18:46 CEST 2022

Dear all,
I signed hoping that one more signature might help.
Let me only point out to the fact that retired individuals who  are not
prominent members of any social movement or organisation, but are very much
interested in the past, present and future prospects of the World Social
Forum and emerging world social movement, have no other choice but to
report in the respective part of the petition the name of the institution
of the last employment.
Comradely salute
Vera Vratusa
