Global Week of Action

[Robbien]

In the first global event of its kind, millions of people in more than 70 countries will take to the streets from 10–16 April 2005 - calling for trade justice to help lift people out of poverty.

Spearheaded by Christian Aid, a leading member of the Make Poverty History campaign, the Global Week of Action provides a platform for people from the world’s poorest nations to demand an end to damaging trade conditions. They will call on governments and international financial institutions to end economic liberalisation conditions imposed on loans and debt relief.

Events will include demonstrations, petitions to governments and institutions such as the IMF and World Bank, voting for trade justice, unfair football matches, street theatre, lectures, seminars, conferences and much more. Christian Aid partners in Bangladesh, Bolivia, Brazil, Ghana, India, Kenya, Philippines and South Africa will be organising events to campaign against enforced liberalisation.

And the April 16 protest in DC where the Colossal Bandits of the World Bank will be meeting. May need a double check on that but I think it is accurate. Should be a chance to honor criminal Wolfie as the new head. Will he be in position by that date.?
