Call for A Pagan Cluster: To Join the Resistance Against the World Economic Forum New York City January 31-February 4 2002
>From January 30 through February 4, 2002, the World Economic Forum will meet in New York City. A major mobilization is being planned to protest their meeting. The World Economic Forum is the gathering of political and business leaders to set the agendas of corporate domination which later become formalized by governments and international institutions. This is where the networking and brainstorming is done that sets policy for the WTO, the IMF and World Bank, and the other undemocratic, non-accountable institutions that impose corporate rule around the world. This is the first major meeting of the global corporate powers since September 11, and the first opportunity for the global justice movement to respond. We call on Pagans and our friends to join us in New York City to participate in creative resistance to the World Economic Forum and the unjust, global economic system that is destroying the health of the planet and impoverishing the majority of the world's people. We say that our lives, our communities, the health of the earth's ecosystems, the cultures of indigenous peoples, the dreams of children are too important to be subsumed to profit. Another world is possible: a world of justice, freedom, ecological balance, real democracy and true abundance, and we will make it real.
