The Midwest Social Forum (MWSF) is an annual gathering of grassroots organizations, community activists, workers, educators, students, artists, and others committed to making a better, more just world possible. The MWSF provides an open space for exchanging experiences and information, strengthening alliances and networks, and developing effective strategies for progressive social, economic, and political change.

The World Social Forum—which originated in Porto Alegre, Brazil in 2001— is an open meeting place where social movements, networks, NGOs and other civil society organizations come together to debate ideas democratically, formulate proposals, share experiences and network for effective action.
