Alternative forms of popular organization

In our discussion, we would like to stimulate a debate between the two organizations that will enable us to develop new forms of grassroots organization. The idea is that each collective reports: What is the theoretical framework we rely on, and how did we arrive at it? How do we apply this theoretical framework in our political practice?

Key questions

• How does the capitalist system affect our forms of organization?
• What role should people play in solving social problems?
• What role does territory play in our political work?
• What obstacles do we encounter in our political practice?
• How can our everyday practice be seen as part of the general struggle for a new and better society?
• Specifically, how can we imagine forms of self-help that not only fill gaps in the retreating neoliberal welfare state, but also develop an independent alternative social project?
• How can solidarity networks use gaps to expand spaces of self-governance where our collective power grows, which challenges the dominant system "from below"?
• How can this be applied to the territorial and organizational context of the city?
• What is the relationship between the grassroots organizations and the work in the existing political institutions?
