Call to Action

This Spring, Paul Wolfowitz, the President of the World Bank Group and
the architect of the War in Iraq, will be convening the biannual meetings of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF)
principal players in the economic devastation of the Global South,
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
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.
