 For the last several years, May First/People Link has been working on the "other foot" by sending teams of technologists to build bridges between global convergence attendees and the vast majority of people unable to attend in person, via live video and audio streaming, multi-media web sites, and our collaborative democracy tool. Through our work, we've prioritized building local capacity for supporting the technology and have contributed to a culture of inclusive participation into the very planning of international gatherings.
 
-May First/People Link seeks funding to continue and expand this work over the next year. There are four critical meetings - Cochabamba + 1 in Montreal, the Paris World Social Forum IC meeting, the COP17 convergence in Durban, South Africa, and Rio + 20 in Brazil. In addition, we seek funding beyond the convergences themselves, to provide follow up capacity building work for the lcoal anchor organizations. This follow up work is critical to ensuring the sustainability of the technology infrastructure developed during the convergences.
