worldbank.activeresistance.org live - direct action scenario meeting on Saturday

For logistics and other information related to the World Bank protests in Washington, DC, please see http://worldbank.activeresistance.org

A location, date, and time for the organizing is set! Come out to organize for the IMF-World Bank protests in DC. We will meet at 4PM on Saturday April 1, 2006 at the Flemming Center Community Room (9th and P Streets NW in DC). Organizers meeting for direct action against the IMF – World Bank meetings this April Saturday April 1, 2006 people interested in organizing direct action will come together and plan for the April 22-23 meetings of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. An ad hoc group of individuals, The Farragut Squares, has obtained a convergence space for the organizing. The meeting will take place at The Flemming Center starting at 4pm.

We urge you to come out and help organize for these historic protests against the World Bank and IMF. Paul Wolfowitz, the President of the World Bank Group and one of the architects of the War in Iraq, will be convening the biannual meetings of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), bringing together at the table the two capitalist tools of global exploitation — the wars of military might with the strangleholds of economic imperialism.

The World Bank and the IMF, which have been the principal players in the economic devastation of the Global South through Structural Adjustment Programs (currently referred to as Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers), will meet again in downtown Washington, DC to schmooze with the private sector, laugh in the face of the world's poor, and live off the fat of other people's land.

This year, however, we are going to force them to see the resistance that is alive in our hearts, in our minds and across the globe. Seeing our faces, or ours masks as the case may be, will be a requisite part of their weekend activities. We will be at their doorsteps, behind their limos, at their parties and in their yard. From blockades to home demos, interruption to disruption, we'll be there, following their every move.

We urge everyone to come to Washington, DC the weekend of April 21-23 to take part in these historic protests against the World Bank and IMF. Say no to Capitalist globalization and yes to the power of the people and the power of direct action!

This call is brought to you by the Farragut Squares Collective, a local ad hoc group of individuals fed up with the Bretton Woods Institutions and capitalist globalization. We fully support a collaborative, open, and non-hierarchical organizing relationship with all who wish to join us in taking action. Send any inquiries or shows of support to farragutsquares@gmail.com.
