Sustaining All Life (SAL) &
United to End Racism (UER)
at the World Social Forum in Nepal 

A small (five people) SAL delegation of RCers from Nepal and India represented Sustaining All Life and United to End Racism at the World Social Forum in Nepal, February 15 - 19.  It has been many years since RC attended a World Social Forum, and our small delegation was able to have a big presence.  Twice they led a workshop on Staying Hopeful and Sustaining Ourselves as Activists and Organizers!, they did an intro to RC class, held listening circles and listening exchanges, and listened to many people.  At the end of the WSF, groups were asked to post a statement about their work, and supporters were encouraged to sign it.  Our statement got lots of signatures.  Many people are interested in our work and this won't be our last World Social Forum.
