+These consultas will eventually connect the nation, hemisphere, and globe and address social and economic issues. Event and activist spaces around the world must be at the center of this initiative! The technology needs of such a global process will no doubt have an impact on activist spaces in many ways, allowing stronger participation in the spaces possible.

+Our process for collaboration, via the Internet with Free and Open Source Software, offers an opportunity for a genuine collaborative process on all levels of organizing. Ongoing participation from event space organizers will be constula processes. Our goal is to make enough noise by growing the size and scope of our consultas so as to get the hemispheric movement's attention.
