Scoop Images: Wgtn: Carnival against Capitalism
The
Carnival Against Capitalism returns!
A further global
day of action against capitalism is planned for September
26, the date of the IMF/WTO annual meeting in Prague, Czech
Republic.
For More Info See...http://www.tao.ca/~cec/
A coalition of groups worldwide will be holding protests and carnivals to show our opposition to the eviction of whole communities, poverty and death that have been the results of IMF and WB policies.
In Wellington we are
planning a day of action, protest, and party centered around
Cuba and Manners Mall. While there are no direct local
targets for protest against the WTO and IMF, we will be
focussing on banks as embodying the same basic principles of
profit, foreign control, and disregard for local communities
as the World Bank and IMF conglomerates.
