Title A name given to the resource World Social Forum 2004 Description An account of the resource Started in 2001 in Brazil, the World Social Forum (WSF) is a global annual week-long event in which organizers and NGOs convene in the spirit of fighting against systems of power. The WSF mainly serves as a platform for discussing possible worlds outside of one dominated by imperialism, capitalism, and globalization, with the slogan, “Another World Is Possible.” [1] The fourth World Social Forum, held in 2004 in Mumbai, was the first WSF to be held outside its home country of Brazil in order to broaden its focus to Asia and corresponding topics such as the caste system and the relations between India and Pakistan. [2] The WSF is also a subject of criticism. At this particular WSF, criticisms included there were groups that should have been excluded (such as armed militant groups), that the WSF put too much emphasis on discussion and not enough on collective action. [3] Further, a forum counter to the WSF was held at the same time, called Mumbai Resistance (MR) 2004. CAAAV and Domestic Workers United (DWU) members were delegates to the World Social Forum 2004. They visited impoverished urban areas in Mumbai and a network of Adivasi tribes. [4] Through their experiences with local life, CAAAV and DWU members confronted their privilege coming from a developed country where aspects of life such as running water were taken for granted. [5] They learned about the caste system in greater depth and the environmentally destructive extractionist role that Coca-Cola plays in India. [6] After a couple days of the WSF, the delegation began to have criticisms of the event, including that the workshops were all in English with no translators and that NGOs dominated the discussions. [7] The delegation then decided to visit Mumbai Resistance (MR) 2004 to gain insight into the WSF, learning that the WSF has close relations to prominent NGOs. [8] They then marched with Mumbai Resistance against the U.S. invasion of Iraq. [9] The CAAAV and DWU members left with a sense of renewed drive for justice, a sense of responsibility to educate themselves about the effects of U.S. imperialism internationally, and gratitude for what Mumbai had taught them. [10] The World Social Forum Collection primarily contains photos, posters and pamphlets taken from the World Social Forum 2004 and Mumbai Resistance 2004. The photographs primarily document protests. The pamphlets are written by various movements and groups about their own work. The collection also includes papers that detail workshops and seminars.

Title A name given to the resource DMSC Pamphlet Description An account of the resource This pamphlet explains the origins, objectives, and successes of the Durbar Mahila Samanwaya Committee (DMSC, Committee for the Co-ordination of Women), an organization that advocates for the rights of sex workers in east India. It details the marginalization of sex workers in Indian society, and how from its origins, DMSC sought to recognize sex workers as whole human beings. Their goals are to improve working conditions, obtain legal recognition of prostitution as a legitimate profession, and to bar minors from entering the industry. Some of their successes include registering a consumer cooperative under their name, establishing a team to market condoms across the country, and organizing a carnival for sex workers from all over the world to converse and celebrate life.

Title A name given to the resource Justice for Wrongfully Convicted David Wong during Mid-Autumn Festival Celebration Description An account of the resource This new article features CAAAV’s celebration of the Mid-Autumn festival, which is similarly reported in item #2578. The reporter particularly zoomed in on describing how the David Wong Support Committee raised awareness regarding overturning the conviction for David Kin-Jin Wong, who was imprisoned for 17 years. While serving a sentence for armed robbery in a correctional facility, David Wong was charged with murder after a cellmate was stabbed to death. The wrongfully convicted revealed multiple unjust flaws of the criminal justice system: falsified testimonies of the police guard, a fully white jury, absence of language access services to translate David Wong’s Fujianese dialect, and more. After years of dedicated grassroots efforts, the case was overturned in 2004.

The illustration accompanied the article "Giuliani's Police Makes War on Our Communities." The article included updates on the campaign for justice for Yong Xin Huang. On October 10, 1995, while CAAAV and other community coalition leaders met with US Attorney Zachary Carter to demand a federal investgiation into Huang's murder, CAAAV's Justice Committee for Yong Xin Huang held a memorial outside the Department of Justice. Kim's illustration depicts a crowd of mourners, many holding signs. Some signs read "Remember Yong Xin Huang" and "Justice Now." One mourner plays a flute.

Title A name given to the resource Domestic Workers United Press Conference at City Hall Description An account of the resource In this set of photographs, a group of people stand on the steps of City Hall in New York City. Some of them are holding handwritten signs advocating for domestic workers' rights. Legible signs read: "Respect Women’s Labor!!”, “Domestic Workers United Will Never be Defeated!”, “African, Asian, Latina, and Caribbean Women United Against Exploitation”, “How Do you Benefit from Our Labor?”, “Domestic Workers United”, “Rights, Respect, Recognition, Dignity for Domestic Workers”, and “Justice for Domestic Workers.” Partially visible is a banner of the Andolan Organizing South Asian Workers. A different person is speaking into a microphone in each image. In the foreground of two of the images, facing the group and with their backs to the camera, are members of the press. Some of them can be seen photographing the event. In one of the images, the speaker is wearing yellow rubber gloves. The Women Workers Project (WWP), also known as Kalayaan at Pogkakaisa ng mga Manggagawang Pilipina (Freedom and Unity Among Filipina Workers), was founded by CAAAV in the early 1990’s as a program to support immigrant working women across low-wage service industries. [1] WWP organized multiple leadership and advocacy campaigns in support of domestic workers from Caribbean, African, South Asian, and Latino communities with the goal of improving conditions for domestic workers across the city. [2] In 2000, WWP co-founded Domestic Workers United (DWU) in collaboration with Andolan Organizing South Asian Workers (AOSAW) in order to “bring domestic workers of all ethnicities together to form one general organization.” [3] DWU is a collectivized workforce that advocates for fair labor standards in the industry. [4]  The press conference pictured in the images was organized by WWP at DWU in the context of a campaign to protect domestic workers’ rights. The purpose of the conference was to promote the passage of Resolution 135 and Intro. 96, two pieces of legislation that sought to address issues of abuse and exploitation that domestic workers and household employees can be vulnerable to. In particular, Resolution 135 required employment agencies to “provide a written code of conduct for all domestic workers and household employees, as well as their employers.” [5] Intro. 96 also required that employment agencies provide applicants with a “statement of job conditions describing the nature and terms of employment.” [6] Both legislations were passed in 2003. In 2010, the New York Domestic Workers’ Bill of Rights was passed. New York was the first city in the nation to put in effect a municipal bill of this kind. [7] After years of advocacy and campaigning, DWU was instrumental to the passing of the Bill.

Li explained that a total of nine detainees—including four Chinese detainees—had been consuming only water and salt for the past seven days, with their central demand being release on parole. No doctors at the detention facility had visited them despite their physical discomfort and medical symptoms. Li’s account challenged Wackenhut’s official record, which stated that no detainees had been starving for more than 72 hours. Li also provided accounts of the living conditions in the detention center, as well as the demographics of the detainees, including 40 ethnically Chinese immigrants out of a total of 180 detainees.
