They should change the slogan to: "Another World is Possible if You are a Wealthy NGO Activist Who Will Sell Out the Movement to Protect Your Cushy Job."
Most of the rank and file members of the movement can't afford to go to Pôrto Alegre, even those here in North America. Not everybody can scare up some money and vacation time to fly to Brazil to sip latte and discuss internationl development.
Many of these people will be braving the cold and the elements tomorrow in New York City. If anybody is going to "make another world possible," it will be these activists in the streets, not the NGO yuppies hobnobbing in Pôrto Alegre.
