The I.W.A (Interational Workers Association) was founded in London at Saint Martin's Hall, in September 28th, forming a committee whose mission was to draft a program and statutes for the Association. It is considered a response to the exploitation suffered by workers as a result of the industrial revolution. Its goal is to achieve a more just and equitable social order, fighting against capitalism. It is a symbol of international solidarity among workers across borders.
The assembly of delegates has chosen a provisional committee where Chartists, trade unionists, socialists of different tendencies and followers of Proudhon are found.
Some notorious members are Louis Auguste Blanqui, a french socialist and political activist, Giuseppe Garibaldi, a italian politician and general, and Friedrich Engels, co-writer of the Communist Manifiesto with the chosen one to write the statutes, Karl Marx. The statutes highlights several ideas:

· The International should not abolish national associations, but enhance their activity on a global scale.
· The emancipation of the working class would be the work of the workers themselves.
· There would be no emancipation without struggle for political power.
We hope that the organization achieves its purposes and spread throughout the world to provide better conditions for workers.
