For this very purpose, we&nbsp;established , from the cradle of the World Forum of Alternatives, an ad hoc group&nbsp;to prepare an international \u201cKick-Off Meeting\u201d for the \u201cInternational&nbsp;of Workers and&nbsp;Peoples\u201d.<br>&nbsp;The momentous events unfolding in the world&nbsp;today require outreach to all the relevant progressive forces around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We need to identify building blocks for an international network of&nbsp;peoples and workers to address the challenges of the 21 st century. We aim to answer thes&nbsp;questions: how shall we transfer Amin\u2019s appeal to workers and people from being just an&nbsp;idea, to action: a transnational organisation?&nbsp;How to materialize it?
