Massive Rally at the
IMF & World Bank in
Washington DC
Sunday April 16, 2000
Stand Again for
Economic Justice!
Oppose Oppressive
Globalization!
The Washington Post reports, "Protesters at WTO plan D.C. follow-up=
:
IMF-World Bank meeting is target." Full Story >>
A powerful U.S. movement for economic and human rights and fair tra=
de
had its coming-out party at the WTO meetings in Seattle. A range of force=
s
who value human and ecological dignity over corporate profits and
trickle-down economics came together there. We challenged one of the most
insidious tools of unaccountable profit-driven rule, the World Trade
Organization, and we scored an important series of victories against some
daunting odds.
In April, the struggle continues in Washington, DC -the very heart =
of
political and institutional control over the global economy: the U.S.
Treasury, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. They =
are
the chief instruments used by political and corporate elites to create
today's unjust, destructive global economic order. The World Bank and the
IMF have been quietly writing the rules that keep the world safe for
multinational corporations while economically depriving billions around t=
he
world.
Your presence in Washington is needed! The finance ministers and
international bureaucrats who shape the world economy to make the rich
richer and the poor poorer need to know that Seattle was not just a bump =
on
their road to global domination. What we asserted at the WTO must be
repeated to the rulers of the global economy. We must make clear, again,
that the peoples' movements of the world, will not stand idly by while th=
ose
holding power continue to impoverish and oppress the majority of the worl=
d's
peoples and ravage the earth's environment and resources while enriching
themselves and corporations.
Activists in the United States must insist - firmly and consistentl=
y,
until the system is changed - that decisions about the fate of the planet
and its peoples must not be made behind closed doors.
The IMF and World Bank are in many ways the "parents" of the WTO;
today, they form an "unholy trinity" to preserve corporate power and
constrain the rights and opportunities of the majority of the world's
people. Because of that, many of the groups that helped organize the
victories in Seattle are already preparing for days of protest, education=
,
training, and direct action during the week of April 9-16 in Washington.
The week begins on Sunday, April 9th with a Jubilee 2000/USA
mobilization for cancellation of the debts of African, Latin American,
Asia-Pacific, and Caribbean countries, and continuing with teach-ins and
trainings on the global economy. It will culminate with a MASSIVE RALLY A=
T
IMF HEADQUARTERS ON SUNDAY, APRIL 16TH.
a.. Save the dates!
b.. Endorse the Call for Protests and Spread the Word!
c.. Start organizing - how many people can you bring to Washingto=
n?
d.. Educate yourself and others about the IMF and the World Bank
