Pasqualino Colombaro
I was born and raised in the Abruzzi region of Italy. I am 58 years old and live in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. I currently coordinate the efforts of the Global Economic Alternatives Network. Since 1974 I have been a community and labor activist in Massachusetts. I organize, mobilize, research and consult on comparative issues of local and global economic development, labor organizing and politics and alternative economic initiatives. To the RSP I am ready to contribute the essence of my social imagination and the full brunt of my dialectical skills. Likewise I hope that other participants will feel free to engage in a frank and dispassionate debate about what the new society may come to resemble if certain individual and collective actions were actually taken. I also hope that in this fashion important beneficial ideas/solutions will surface that may find immediate individual and local practical application globally.
