Against the backdrop of the Bush Administration's march toward war with Iraq, the
IMF and
World Bank will convene their
annual meetings in Washington DC this weekend. They will be met by thousands of protesters - including Chicago global justice activists - seeking an end to the neo-liberal development policies that have, for over 50 years guided these institutions resulting in
poverty, ecological devastation and world wide war. Teach-ins, trainings, lectures, and rallies will be taking place all week culminating in a
Peoples Strike aimed at shutting DC down on Friday (9.27) and a
Mobilization for Global Justice rally, march, and IMF/World Bank Quarantine on Saturday (9.28). On Sunday (9.29) morning there will be
peoples assemblies and in the afternoon a
march against the impending war on Iraq.
