PERMITTED DEMONSTRATION AND RALLY TO TAKE PLACE IN FRONT OF WALDORF ASTORIA HOTEL ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2
WHAT: Demonstration against the World Economic Forum DATE: Saturday, February 2 TIME: 11 am LOCATION: @ the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, 50th St. and Park Ave. New York City In response to permit applications placed by organizers at International A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism), the New York Police Department have stated that they *WILL NOT* be creating a Quebec-type exclusion zone surrounding the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, the site of the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF). In fact, there will be permitted protests at 50th St. and Park Ave., the northwest corner of the Waldorf. The WEF has traditionally met in Davos, Switzerlad, where it was the target of massive anti-globalization demonstrations. Organizers in the A.N.S.W.E.R. coalition vow that the move to New York City by the W.E.F. - whose members activists are calling the "face of economic terrorism" - will not help its CEOs, bankers and billionaires avoid protest. A.N.S.W.E.R. is calling for all those who oppose the anti-poor policies of the World Economic Forum; who oppose U.S. wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere; who stand against racism, for civil liberties and for civil rights to convergence at 50th St. and Park Ave. at 11 am on Saturday, February 2.
