The 50 Years Is Enough: U.S. Network for Global Economic Justice is a
coalition of over 200 US organizations (policy, labor, grassroots,
peace, solidarity, women's, youth, etc) committed to the profound
transformation of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF).
We know and have published briefing papers that map the ways in which
the World Bank & IMF facilitate massive corporate welfare. *(The
packets are available for $8.00 -- to defray postage & production
costs). Also in making these connections we have also shown how the
G-7 countries (Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the
United States) drive the international economic agenda in ways that
mostly benefit corporation and the very wealthy.
We will be participating at the Peoples' Summit/The other Economic
Summit (TOES) in Denver June 19-22 when the G-7/Summit of the Eight
meets. TOES is an attempt in each of the G-7 countries, since 1984, to
offer an alternative view of the world which is absent from the
official meetings.
There will be workshops (over 75 of them over 3 days), direct actions,
demos & protests, cultural events, etc at TOES/Peoples' Summit. It is
an unique opportunity to learn and work with activists from around the
U.S. and around the world. The point of all this is that this is an
unique opportunity to get started, to learn, etc for activists and I
urge you all consider going to Denver to work and learn with other
activists.

For more information about the 50 Years IS Enough Network, please send
me your postal address and I will mail you the packets for $8.00.
